Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
  2. Husk the fresh sweet corn and brush each ear with olive oil. Grill for about 2 minutes on each side until charred.
  3. Remove corn and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut off the kernels into a bowl.
  4. If using frozen corn, heat in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until warm, then add to the bowl.
  5. Add finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and crumbled cotija cheese to the bowl and toss gently.
  6. Whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and cotija cheese. Chill for 30 minutes if desired before serving.
