Roast the Corn
- In a large non-stick skillet cook the corn on medium high heat until the corn starts to get dark brown spots.
Make the dressing
- In a large mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper and garlic salt. Add pepper to taste.

Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can add in diced jalapenos or green chilies for a spicy kick. If you can’t find cotija cheese you can substitute feta. You can substitute the sour cream for Mexican crema. Any short pasta will work, penne, shells even elbow.
