Shave the kernels off of the corn cob and place it in a large bowl.

Crumble up the Cotija Cheese (1/3 cup) and add it to the bowl of corn.

Squeeze the Lime (1/4) over the corn. Add in the Cayenne Pepper (1 tsp) , Mayonnaise (2 1/2 Tbsp) and Granulated Sugar (1/2 Tbsp) if corn is not sweet. Mix well.

Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted at the top and is brown. Serve warm with tortilla chips and additional lime if desired.

Author's Notes

Save the cobs (you can freeze them) and use it to make soup broths Taste the corn and decide if it is sweet it enough for you. Only use sugar if your corn is not sweet. Do not use it if you are using canned corn since the canned corn is usually soaking in a sugar syrup and is already very sweet. Substitute the corn for canned corn if you are in a rush Grilling the corn is optional
