3. Top rice with 2 Tbsps. of the roasted corn, 1 Tbsp. diced tomato, 1-2 Tbsp. avocado and 1 dried chile pepper.

4. For tableside service*, present customer with bowl as described in step 3. And pour 1 cup hot chicken stock.

5. Garnish with tortilla strips, cilantro and lime.

*Chef's note: Tableside service makes customers feel the dish is made just for them, and reinforces the freshness of ingredients. If tableside is not an option, combine the first four ingredients with chicken stock and garnish each bowl with remaining ingredients before service.
