For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before adding it to the skillet. If you don't have cotija cheese, crumbled feta or queso fresco can be used as substitutes. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference for heat. Fresh corn kernels cut straight from the cob work beautifully in this recipe when corn is in season.
