Prep the Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients. Remove the kernels from the corn cobs if you are using fresh corn. If using canned corn, drain and rinse the kernels.

Cook the Aromatics
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Add the Corn
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the corn to soften and become slightly golden.

Incorporate Cream
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to incorporate it with the corn mixture. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Season the Mixture
Add the crumbled Cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the cheese to melt into the mixture, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
