Instructions

Grill the corn (or prepare frozen corn) until charred, about 10 minutes. Let cool and cut off kernels.
Combine mayonnaise and sour cream in a large mixing bowl for the base.
Fold in the corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix all ingredients gently until well combined.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Serve in a bowl, garnished with extra cotija cheese and cilantro leaves.

Notes

For a smoky flavor, roast the corn in the oven or use a stovetop grill pan. Can be made vegan by using plant-based mayonnaise and sour cream.
