Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn on the cob
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Chili Lime Butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. 2 Remove husks and silk from the corn.
  3. 3 Brush each ear of corn with olive oil to coat evenly.
  4. 4 Place the corn on the grill, turning occasionally, until charred and tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. 5 While the corn is grilling, prepare the chili lime butter by mixing the softened butter, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  6. 6 Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and brush it generously with the chili lime butter.
  7. 7 Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro over the buttered corn.
  8. 8 Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra zing.
