Chef's Tips
- Grilling Tip: For extra smoky flavor, leave some of the husk on the corn while grilling.
- Cheese Substitute: If cotija is unavailable, feta cheese makes a good alternative.
- Spice Level: Adjust the chili powder to your preferred level of heat.
- Make Ahead: The sauce can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with extra lime wedges for a tangy kick.
