Cut the kernels off the corn cobs using a bowl to catch the kernels.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the corn to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to get a charred effect.

Flip the corn after 2 to 3 minutes to char the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes.

Once charred, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 can of mild chilies, 1/2 cup of cilantro, juice of 1 lime, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder to the corn.

Mix everything together until well combined and adjust seasoning with more chili powder and cilantro if desired.
