What can I substitute for Cotija cheese?
Feta cheese is a great substitute. Parmesan also works, though the flavor is less tangy.
Is this dish spicy?
Mildly. Chili powder adds warmth but not intense heat. Use cayenne, chipotle, or hot sauce for more heat.
Can I serve this cold?
Absolutely. Skillet street corn is delicious warm, room temperature, or chilled.
