For an extra smoky flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chili powder. If you don't have cotija cheese, feta cheese can be used as a substitute. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. For easier handling, you can soak the unhusked corn in water for 30 minutes before roasting. This helps prevent the husks from burning.
