Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the Jersey corn cobs with melted Jersey butter. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
Let the corn cool slightly. Cut the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grilled corn kernels, crumbled cotija cheese, fresh lime juice, and chili powder.
Add chopped cilantro. Toss well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve immediately or chill for later.

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chili powder.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
To easily remove kernels from the cob, place the cob upright in the center of a bundt pan. The kernels will fall into the pan as you cut them off.
To make this a larger meal, serve with grilled chicken or fish.
