2 fresh limes, quartered
1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or mild feta

Steps:

  • Make the garlic butter:

Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The garlic butter can be made in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen for a week. Bring to cool room temperature before serving.)

Tips:

  • Select fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as they may be old or dry.
  • Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out and becoming tough.
  • Use high heat: Grill the corn over high heat to create a slightly charred exterior and tender, juicy interior.
  • Rotate the corn frequently: Rotate the corn every few minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  • Baste the corn with garlic butter: Basting the corn with garlic butter during grilling adds flavor and keeps the kernels moist.
  • Season the corn with fresh lime juice and cotija cheese: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn and sprinkle with cotija cheese before serving for a burst of flavor and a creamy texture.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob with garlic butter, fresh lime, and cotija cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make summer side dish.
