Cooking Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
Husk the corn, rinse and dry it. Brush each ear with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the corn for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning every few minutes until golden-brown and tender.
Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool. Cut the kernels off the cob into a bowl.
In the bowl, add mayonnaise, cotija cheese, cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder. Mix gently until well combined.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or chilled.
