Steps:
- Place the butter in a small bowl, add the chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeño and salt and mix well.
- Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
- Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
- Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
- Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.
ROASTED CORN WITH CHILI LIME BUTTER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the corn in its husks directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is soft when you press on it, 30 to 40 minutes.
- While the corn is roasting, combine the butter with the chili powder and lime zest.
- Peel down the husks and tie in a knot to use as a handle while eating. Rub the corn with soft butter mixture, and garnish with a lime wedge. (This roasting method produces the sweetest corn I have ever tasted.)
GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH CHILI-LIME BUTTER AND COTIJA CHEESE

- Mix together the butter, chili powder, cayenne pepper, lime juice and some salt and black pepper in a bowl until incorporated.
- Peel back the corn husks, leaving on to use as handles while eating. Rub the chili-lime butter all over the corn. Garnish with the cotija cheese.

Steps:
- Grill corn over high heat, turning until lightly blackened in places and kernels are just tender when pressed, about 12 minutes.
- Cut each ear into 4 pieces. Transfer to a sturdy, medium-size paper bag and squeeze lime over corn. Sprinkle with chili powder and coarse salt. Close bag and shake to coat. Serve immediately from the bag or in a bowl.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn will work in a pinch.
- To grill the corn, you can use a charcoal grill, a gas grill, or an indoor grill pan. Make sure that the grill is hot before you start cooking the corn.
- Brush the corn with olive oil or melted butter before grilling. This will help to prevent the corn from sticking to the grill.
- Cook the corn for 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly charred. Turn the corn occasionally to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly before serving. You can then slather the corn with chili lime butter or your favorite topping.
Conclusion:
Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or even a main course. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that is perfect for summer cookouts or any occasion. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy some grilled corn on the cob!
