Steps

Heat a grill to medium-high (about 450°F) and clean the grates. If you do not have a grill, heat the broiler with a rack 4 inches below it and set the corn on a foil-lined sheet pan.
Stir the mayonnaise, lime zest and 1 tablespoon of lime juice together in a small bowl. Spread the cotija on a plate.
Brush the corn with the oil and grill, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the kernels are tender and charred in spots all the way around, 10 to 12 minutes (about the same under the broiler).
While the corn is hot, brush each ear with the lime mayonnaise and roll it in the cotija, pressing so the cheese sticks. Sprinkle with chili powder, cilantro and a little salt if needed and serve with the lime wedges.
