Method
Directions
Prepare the Corn
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn on the cob and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from the pot and let cool slightly.
Mix the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Coat the Corn
Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels off the cob or leave them on the cob if preferred. Brush or coat the corn with the prepared sauce, ensuring it's evenly covered.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle Cotija cheese generously over the coated corn. Add more chili powder if desired.
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
