In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and cilantro.
Once grilled, take the corn off the grill and apply the mayonnaise mixture using a basting brush.
Drizzle lime juice over the corn, then generously garnish with Parmesan and cotija cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of chili powder and serve.
