Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F (428°F) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- 2In a bowl, toss the chopped chicken thighs with taco seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and the juice of one lime until evenly coated.
- 3Spread the seasoned chicken in an even layer on one half of the prepared sheet pan; no additional oil is needed.
- 4Bake the chicken for 10 minutes.
- 5Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the shaved corn kernels and diced purple onion with olive oil, chili powder, and salt; toss to coat.
- 6Remove the pan from the oven, push the partially cooked chicken to one side, and spread the corn mixture onto the empty side of the pan.
- 7Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, then switch to broil for the final 3 minutes to crisp the chicken edges and char the corn.
- 8Take the pan out, squeeze the juice of ½–1 lime over the corn, and sprinkle the corn with queso fresco and chopped cilantro.
- 9To serve, separate lettuce leaves, place a portion of the chicken and street corn into each leaf, then top with diced avocado, pico de gallo, jalapeño slices, a drizzle of crema or Greek yogurt, and extra cilantro.
