  1. Lightly oil the grate of a grill and turn to medium-high heat.
  2. Grill corn in the husks on the grill for about 15 minutes making sure to turn occasionally. The husks will char while perfectly cooking the corn cob inside.
  3. Remove corn from the grill, then remove the husks. Cut kernels off into a medium bowl.
  4. Add lime juice, chili powder, cotija, cilantro, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to the corn. Mix until combined, and add any more seasonings needed.
