Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high. Brush the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the ears on the grill and cook until the corn is golden or charred – whichever you prefer – turning the ears as you go. It will take about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly.
Once the corn is cool, slice the kernels off the cob. In a large bowl, stirl together the corn, jicama, cilantro, green onions, cotija, chili powder, paprika salt and pepper. Stir in the lime zest and juice.
Drizzle the garlic mayo on the tortilla. Add a few spoonfuls of the corn salad mixture on top. You can drizzle more of the mayo on if you wish! Top with more cotija cheese and cilantro and serve.
