How to prepare Mexican street corn grilled chicken tacos?

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over a high flame in a large cast-iron skillet. Then start adding an ear of frozen or fresh corn along with white and light green parts of green onion. Don’t miss salt and pepper. Now cook for nearly 4 minutes until charred in places, tossing halfway through.
2. Now transfer this corn in a bowl which is large enough to hold it. Don’t forget to wipe the skillet. Make sure that the corn gets cooled and then add cotija cheese, cilantro, two tablespoons of the lime juice, dark parts of the green onion, and jalapeño.
3. In the meantime, turn the skillet to medium heat. The remaining frozen chicken and tablespoon oil should be added now. Cook and stir occasionally. Keep doing it for about 5 minutes until the chicken is warm. Then remove it from heat.
4. Use whisk mayonnaise, remaining two teaspoons of lime juice, sour cream, paprika, and chili powder to make your taco topping in a small bowl. Now add salt and pepper to it and keep it aside.
5. Hold each tortilla using tongs directly over the flame. Heat it for like 5 seconds.
6. Finally, you can serve the tortillas stuffed with avocado, chicken, and corn mixture. Don’t miss adding mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkling more cotija cheese is very important here. Enjoy it with lime wedges while it is warm.
