Instrucțiuni

Start by mixing together all of the spices in a small bowl. Then, in a medium-sized bowl, add chicken, half of the olive oil (1 tbsp) and half of the spice mixture. Toss with your hands to combine and let that marinate for at least 30 minutes while you prepare everything else.

Preheat oven to 425F. In another medium-sized bowl, add the bell peppers, onion, remaining half of the olive oil (1 tbsp) and the rest of the spice mixture. Toss with tongs until coated.

Once the chicken is done marinating, add it to a baking sheet. Scatter the bell pepper and onion mixture around the chicken on the baking dish. Spread it out so there's as little overlap as possible.

Transfer to the oven to bake for 15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165F and veggies are tender. Allow the chicken to cool for a few minutes before chopping into small chunks.

Meanwhile, whisk together the greek yogurt, lime juices and spices. Then, add in the remaining Mexican Street Corn ingredients and stir until combined.

Warm up your tortillas in the microwave, on a skillet or directly on your gas stove. Then, layer on the roasted veggies, chopped chicken and a scoop of the mexican street corn. Garnish with a bit more cotija cheese and a squeeze of lime juice, if desired. Enjoy!
