Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the corn. Allow it to char undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, then stir for another 1-2 minutes until heated through. Cool after charring.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- In a large bowl, mix the cooled pasta with charred corn, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and cotija cheese. Fold gently.
- Drizzle dressing over the mixture and toss until well coated. Cover and let rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Notes
For the best result, cool the pasta completely before mixing with the dressing. Store dressing separately if making ahead to keep salad fresh.
