Preparation

Step 1

Prepare grill for medium heat. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until tender and charred, about 8–10 minutes. Allow corn to cool for 5 minutes. Cut kernels from each cob and transfer to a medium bowl.

Whisk mayonnaise, lime juice, paprika, cayenne, 2 ounces of Cotija cheese, and 2 tablespoons cilantro in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Add corn and toss to combine. Top with more cheese and cilantro.
