Prepare the grill by oiling the grates with a high heat oil like avocado oil. Preheat the grill on the highest setting for about five minutes.

Place the corn on the grill and allow the kernels to char, rotating every few minutes until all sides are lightly charred, about 8-15 minutes.

When the corn cobs are cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cob.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the mayo, sour cream, lime juice, garlic, jalapeños, chili powder, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and cheese together.

Add the corn kernels and cilantro to the dressing and stir thoroughly to coat all kernels. Adjust salt to taste if needed.

Serve warm or chilled with tortilla chips.
