For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika to the mayonnaise. If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through. Feel free to substitute queso fresco for cotija cheese if preferred. Adjust the amount of cheese according to your taste. Make sure to grill corn directly to make it lightly charred.
