For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the lime halves alongside the corn. If you don't have ancho chile powder, you can substitute with regular chili powder, but the flavor profile will be slightly different. Make sure to rotate the corn frequently on the grill to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Freshly grated cotija cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and texture. Adjust the amount of salt and lime juice to your personal preference.
