Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ears sweet corn husks removed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tbsp lime juice about 1 lime
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine and stir until smooth butter, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat of about 400°F (204°C). Lightly oil the grates.
  3. Lightly apply oil to the corn and grill for 10-12 minutes. Be sure to turn the corn every 2-3 minutes so they become evenly charred.
  4. While still hot, spread chili-lime butter on each ear so it melts in.
  5. Serve with lime wedges and sprinkle some cotija and cilantro over corn.
