Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Quarter lime. Halve, peel, and slice onion into 1⁄2-inch strips. Core and deseed bell pepper; slice into 1⁄2-inch strips. Roughly chop cilantro.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly charred in spots, 3-5 minutes. (TIP: If corn begins to pop, cover pan.) Turn off heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Wipe out pan. • To bowl with corn, add mayonnaise, 1⁄2 tsp chili powder (you’ll use the rest later), 1⁄4 tsp sugar, and juice from one lime wedge (1 tsp chili powder, 1⁄2 tsp sugar, and juice from two lime wedges for 4 servings). Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and more lime juice if desired. TIP: You can customize the corn salad by also adding as much cilantro and feta as you like; any remaining cilantro and feta will be served alongside the taco bar. • Refrigerate corn salad until ready to serve.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for corn over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper; season with remaining chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 3-5 minutes (lower heat if veggies begin to brown too quickly!). • Turn off heat; transfer to a serving bowl. Wipe out pan. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!
• Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. • Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for veggies over medium-high heat. Add chicken, Southwest Spice Blend, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is browned and cooked though, 4-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds. • In a small bowl, combine sour cream, juice from one lime wedge (two wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
• Serve tortillas, chicken, veggies, corn salad, cilantro, feta, lime crema, and any remaining lime wedges family style so everyone can build their own plate. (Don’t forget to serve with any extra items you may have ordered to build out your meal!)
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very good. I like shredded cheese on my tacos, so I added some, but the peppers and onions and chicken were great. The corn salad was good. I decide to keep the feta for the salad in my other HF meal, so I added some shredded Mexican cheese to it. Delicious!
Tacos in any form are always a fav and these were nice cause we could make them differently so not the same thing with each taco!
I don't know anything about cooking. I appreciate the step by step instructions and pictures. The corn was especially spicy and tasty.
Tasty quick and fun to make. Recommend for kids as well to get to make their own tacos.
The 'bar' concept is great. We enjoy being able to customize our meals at the table. Please consider an option for corn tortillas (no wheat). We buy corn tortillas to replace the flour ones you send but it would be ideal if you gave us a choice.
Very good! Literally only one complaint and thats that there needs to be more sauce!!! Other than that these were fire!!! Mmmmm so good. More sauce please!!
Great! Corn salsa was a good addition and the spices were perfectly blended together for all items
Good value and large portions. Very delicious flavors with the corn.
It was a lot of prep work, but hubby asked me to order this one again, so I guess it was worth it.
This was good. The chicken : veggies ratio was off though. Too many onions and peppers! Good corn. Needed hot sauce.
