Grilled Mexican Street Corn

4 cups roasted corn (6-8 ears, husks removed)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup queso fresco
cilantro & epazote

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the corn to a large bowl and allow them to cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, remove the kernels from the corn. Divide the corn between 4 individual cups or small glasses. Put 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon butter in each glass. Sprinkle with cheese, chili powder, salt & ¼ teaspoon lime juice. Garnish with sprig of cilantro & epazote.
