2 cups charred corn kernels Grill or char the corn for best flavor.
1 pound marinated chicken Can be grilled or sautéed.
1/2 cup cotija cheese, crumbled Feta cheese can be used as a substitute.

Method

Preparation

In a skillet or on the grill, cook the marinated chicken until it’s fully cooked through. Once it cools slightly, slice or shred it.
In a bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt) with lime juice, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
Gently heat your tortillas in a skillet or microwave until they’re soft and pliable.

Assembly

Layer a generous amount of charred corn, chicken, cotija cheese, and chopped cilantro onto your tortillas.
Drizzle with lime crema and add a splash of salsa if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.

Notes

Presentation matters! Stack your tacos high on a colorful platter, and consider serving with a refreshing corn salad or zesty pickled onions. Pair with horchata or a light Mexican beer for a perfect complement.
