Loved this, found the cheese at Walmart. Used Jalapeno pepper for milder flavor. Will make this again and again. Cotija cheese is great in all kinds of Mexican dishes.

I intended to follow this recipe exactly as stated to discover we were out of propane. Left corn whole, soaked 30 minutes and placed in oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutres, removed husk and seasoned per this recipe it rocked!
