Step 1
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the 4 cups corn kernels in a single layer and cook without stirring until charred in spots, about 5 minutes. Stir and cook 2 more minutes until tender.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk the 1/4 cup mayonnaise, juice of the 1 lime, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth.
Step 3
Add the hot corn to the bowl and toss to coat with the sauce. Let sit for 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
Step 4
Crumble the 1/2 cup cotija cheese over the salad and toss gently. Serve warm with extra lime wedges if desired.
