Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add corn and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kernels are charred and golden in spots.

    While the corn cools, dice cucumbers, chop red onion and cilantro, and mince jalapeño.
  3. 3
    In a big bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. 4
    Add charred corn, cucumbers, onion, jalapeño, and most of the cilantro to the dressing. Toss gently to combine. Fold in most of the cotija, reserving a bit for garnish.
  5. 5
    Transfer to a platter or large bowl. Sprinkle with remaining cotija, cilantro, and a dusting of chili powder. Serve chilled or at room temperature with extra lime wedges.
