Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by husking the ears of fresh sweet corn and preheat your grill to medium-high heat at about 400°F.
  2. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes on each side until charred.
  3. Let the corn cool for about 5 minutes, then cut the kernels off the cob into a mixing bowl.
  4. If using frozen corn, thaw it. Chop red onion, mince garlic, and dice jalapeño, then combine in the bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Pour the dressing over the corn mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  7. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese and fresh cilantro before serving.
