    In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Grill the Corn (Optional)

    If desired, grill the corn for 2-3 minutes on each side for a smoky flavor. Brush with melted butter before grilling.

    Assemble the Dish

    Once the corn is cooked (and grilled if desired), brush it with the mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle generously with queso fresco and chopped cilantro.
