Assemble and Serve: While the corn is still warm, generously spread the mayonnaise mixture over each ear. Sprinkle the cheese-chili mixture evenly over the corn. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors!
For an extra smoky flavor, try grilling the corn with the husks pulled back and soaked in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
If you don't have access to a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
Feel free to adjust the amount of ancho chile powder to your preference for spice.
For a vegan option, substitute vegan mayonnaise and sour cream, and nutritional yeast for Parmesan cheese.
If you want to kick it up a notch, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
