  1. Heat grill, preferably charcoal, to medium-high. Grill shucked corn for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through and lightly charred.
  2. Mix mayonnaise, chile powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Spread mixture on hot corn, and top with cheese and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Disclaimer
A charcoal grill adds a touch of smoked flavor to your corn and is highly recommended.
