Shuck 4 ears of fresh corn and place them in salted boiling water.

Boil the corn for about 3 minutes, then transfer to cold water to stop the cooking process.

Cut the corn off the cob after cooling.

In a bowl, combine the cut corn, 1/2 cup chopped purple onion, 15 ounces of drained and rinsed black beans, chopped cherry tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro.

In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, salt, and roasted garlic powder to create a dressing.

Pour the dressing over the corn salad mixture and stir well.

Refrigerate the corn salad mixture to let the flavors meld.

Preheat the oven and prepare the chicken by drizzling 1/2 cup of olive oil over 4 chicken breasts.

Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and roasted garlic powder to the chicken.

Mix the seasonings with the chicken and place it in the oven to bake.

Prepare cooked rice to serve as a base for the fiesta bowls.

Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the fiesta bowls by layering rice, the corn salad, and diced avocado on top.
