Instructions

Prepare the corn by cutting the kernels off the cobs and placing them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with melted butter and toss to coat.
Broil the corn by spreading it in a single layer on a sheet pan. Preheat your broiler and broil the corn for about 5 minutes until a few kernels char.
Combine the corn with mayonnaise, queso fresco, lime juice, green onions, cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and chili powder. Mix well and adjust spices to taste.
Serve the corn mixture in a bowl, topped with additional cheese, cilantro, and chili powder. Enjoy warm!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding BBQ sauce or diced avocado. Avoid freezing the dish to maintain texture.
