Instructions

Preheat your grill to the highest heat. Brush the corn with a drop of olive oil
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Spread the chips out on the sheet. Cover the chips with the grated cheeses.
In a bowl, whisk together the mayo, sour cream and lime zest.
Place the corn directly on the grates. Grill for about 10 minutes, turning every few minutes.
While you grill the corn, stick the baking sheet in the oven. Bake the chips with cheese for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
When the corn is done, slice the kernels off the cob. I like to mix the corn with a sprinkle of tajin and cotija cheese while it's warm. Sprinkle the corn all over the chips. Drizzle the mayo/sour cream mixture all over the nachos. Sprinkle the rest of the tajin (or chili powder) on next. Sprinkle on the cotija cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately with a spritz of lime.
