Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (204°C).
  2. Husk the sweet corn, removing all silk. Brush with olive oil and grill for 2-3 minutes until charred.
  3. Remove corn from the grill and allow it to cool, then cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
  4. If using frozen corn, thaw in the refrigerator overnight or warm in a skillet until heated through.
  5. Add chopped red onion, minced garlic, diced jalapeño, and crumbled cotija cheese to the corn.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, sea salt, and pepper.
  7. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently to combine.
  8. Garnish with cilantro and cotija cheese before serving. Enjoy either warm or chilled.
