Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Slice into ½-inch strips and season with ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Return the skillet to medium-high heat, adding olive oil if needed. Add the seasoned chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the chicken along with the sautéed corn. Toss everything together to coat evenly.
  6. Warm tortillas by wrapping in a damp cloth and microwaving for 20-30 seconds. Lay them flat and fill each with chicken and corn mixture, Cotija cheese, and cilantro. Roll tightly.
  7. Serve the wraps on a platter, garnished with additional cilantro or avocado slices.
