Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt & black pepper

Street Corn Topping:

• 1 ½ cups corn (fresh, canned, or frozen & thawed)
• 2 tbsp mayo
• 2 tbsp sour cream
• ½ cup crumbled cotija (or feta)
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• Juice of ½ lime
• ½ tsp chili powder
• Pinch of salt

For Serving:

• Small flour or corn tortillas
• Extra cilantro
• Sliced avocado
• Lime wedges
• Optional: hot sauce or jalapeños

Directions

1. Season & Cook the Chicken

• Toss chicken with oil, spices, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
• Grill option: Cook over medium heat 5–7 minutes per side until juicy and slightly charred.
• Skillet option: Cook in a hot pan 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Let rest, then slice or chop.

2. Make the Street Corn Mix

• In a bowl, combine corn, mayo, sour cream, cheese, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt.
• Stir until creamy and slightly messy (the good kind of messy 😏).

3. Warm the Tortillas

• Heat directly over flame or in a dry skillet until soft and lightly charred.

4. Build the Tacos

• Add chicken
• Spoon on that creamy street corn magic
• Top with avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime

Wheels & Meals Signature Twists

• Add a drizzle of chipotle crema for smoky heat
• Melt a little cheese directly onto the tortilla before filling
• Toss in pickled red onions for a pop of brightness
• Add crumbled bacon (because… obviously)

RV-Friendly Tip

Cook the chicken outside on a portable grill and assemble inside — keeps your rig cool and your tacos legendary.
