In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the frozen corn. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly caramelized.

While the corn is cooking, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.

Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, add the corn to the mixing bowl with the sauce and stir until the corn is well coated.

Gently fold in the crumbled cotija cheese.

Give it a taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Transfer the corn to a serving dish. It’s best served warm.

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
