I made this last night using local Maine corn from Gillespie Farms and substituted Goat cheese crumbles for the Cojito. You can not get Cojito in rural Maine.

Fresh corn on the cob is so good on its own, you really don't need to do
much to it. But if you want to spice up your ears a bit, try my
Mexican Corn. It uses cotija cheese, know as the "Parmesan cheese of
Mexico." It's a strongly flavored, crumbly cheese that's used like
Parmesan in Italian cooking. If you can't find it in your supermarket,
use Parmesan-Reggiano or feta instead. This recipe makes a delicious
addition to quesadillas, tostadas, fajitas, tacos, or burritos. So dig
in. Delicious!
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Mircowave the corn, two ears at a time, for about seven minutes on high, turning once. Peel back the husk and test a kernel for tenderness. Microwave again for another minute if necessary.Heat a grill pan over high heat.
Cut an inch off the top of the cobs. Grab the husk, along with the silk, and peel the husks off the cob like you would peel the skin off an banana. Continue peeling back the husk around the rest of the cob so that you create a handle with the husk.
Spray the corn with cooking spray and place on the hot grill pan. Grill until the kernels begin to develop grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the cobs occasionally.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and chili powder together. Using as pastry brush, brush the mayonnaise mixture onto each cob. Sprinkle the cheese and cilantro over the cobs.
Serve immeditely with lime wedges.
