Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 1/2 tsp salt until smooth.
Step 2
Grill 4 ears of corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots and tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 3
Spread the mayo mixture evenly over each hot corn cob, using about 2 tbsp per ear.
Step 4
Sprinkle 1/2 cup cotija cheese and 1 tsp chili powder over the corn, turning to coat.
Step 5
Toast 1/4 cup coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle toasted coconut over the corn and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the top. Serve immediately.
