1
Grilling the Corn
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn, removing all the silk and leaves. Rinse the cobs under cold water.
2
Grill the Corn
Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.

3
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
4
Add Cheese and Cilantro
Mix in the Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro into the mayonnaise mixture until well combined.

5
Coat the Corn
Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill. Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each corn cob with the prepared sauce.
6
Final Touches
Sprinkle additional Cotija cheese, chili powder, and chopped cilantro on top of the coated corn for garnish. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
