For extra flavor, try grilling the corn briefly before air frying to add a smoky char. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have cotija cheese, crumbled feta or queso fresco make great substitutes. These corn ribs are best served immediately while hot and the corn is still tender.
