Leave corn cobs whole or snap in half before cooking for more manageable eating.

Grill corn on the cob on a hot grill 8-10 minutes, turning often.

Corn should have char marks.

(It's more authentic to grill the corn, but you can steam it if you don't have access to a grill.)

While still hot, use a butter knife to spread mayonnaise thickly on corn.

Quickly roll in crumbled cotija cheese.

Sprinkle with chili powder and chopped cilantro.

Spritz with lime wedges.

Serve immediately!
