Heat a grill to medium-high heat and add the corn.
There is no need to add salt as the cotija cheese is salty.
Grill on each side for a few minutes until some of the kernals begin to look darker, and a little charred, as pictured above.
Remove from the grill and immediately spread the mexican crema all over the corn.
Sprinkle lightly with cotija cheese, chili powder and lime juice.
Top with a little bit of the fresh cilantro and enjoy.
Best eaten hot off the grill, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Notes
There are a couple of ways to reheat this corn.
Microwave: Place the corn in a microwave safe dish and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set the timer for 10-20 second bursts and continue heating till corn is warm.
Oven: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Add butter, 1 tsp. water, salt and pepper to the corn and wrap in foil. Place in the oven for 5-7 minutes.
