Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. With serrated knife, cut kernels from ears of corn. You should have about 5 cups. Spread corn in single layer on rimmed baking pan. Roast 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown, stirring twice; cool in pan on wire rack.

2. Meanwhile, from 2 limes, squeeze 1/4 cup juice. Cut remaining lime into wedges for serving. In large bowl, combine onion, chiles, 1 cup cheese, cilantro, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, chili powder, salt, cayenne pepper and lime juice.

3. Add corn to mayonnaise mixture; toss until well combined. Serve corn salad sprinkled with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and lime wedges. Makes about 5-1/2 cups.
