Shuck the corn, removing the husk and silk. Soak the corn in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
While the corn soaks, prepare the Sauce by combining all Sauce ingredients in a bowl and mixing well.
Preheat grill to medium heat.
Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Brush the grilled corn generously with the Sauce.
Sprinkle with Cotija cheese, Cilantro, and Chili powder.
Serve immediately.
