For Grilling:

  2. Brush corn all over with oil. Working in batches, arrange corn in basket and cook at 400°, turning halfway through, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and creama.

  4. Transfer corn to a platter. Brush with mayonnaise mixture. Top with cotija, chili powder, and cilantro. Serve warm or at room temperature with lime wedges alongside.
