Chef's Notes
Do not skimp on the char! Those little black spots add a crucial smoky depth that cuts right through the rich cheese and mayo.
Pro Tip
If you cannot find cotija cheese, a dry, salty feta or finely grated parmesan makes a surprisingly noble substitute in a pinch.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware of slathering the cold mayo onto lukewarm corn, resulting in a runny, sad landslide of sauce instead of a majestic cheesy coating.

Royal Court Comedy

The Culinary Science
The Maillard reaction occurs when the natural sugars and amino acids in the corn hit high heat, creating those complex, irresistible roasted flavors.
