cooked
½
cup
mayonnaise
alternatively, ¼ cup mayo + ¼ cup Mexican crema or sour cream
½
cup
grated cotija cheese
juice of 1 lime
chili powder and/or smoked paprika
to taste
chopped cilantro

Instructions
Cook your corn as desired, I like to do ours on the grill and get a bit of char on the outside, or in the air fryer. Roasting or boiling also works.
Smear a generous amount of mayo (or mayo/crema combo) all over the outside of the corn.
Then coat the corn with the grated cotija and squeeze the lime juice over it.
Sprinkle with the chili powder, smoked paprika, and the chopped cilantro.
