Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Confirm the grates are clean and greased to prevent sticking.

Husk the corn and remove any silk. Rinse the ears under cold water and pat dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chipotle powder, lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Brush the corn with a little olive oil and place it directly on the grill grates. Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.

Once the corn is grilled to your liking, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a minute. Then, generously spread the chipotle-lime butter over each ear of corn, allowing it to melt into the warm kernels.

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately while warm.

Extra Tips:

For an added twist, consider sprinkling crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese over the grilled corn before serving. This will give it a rich, creamy texture that plays beautifully with the chipotle-lime butter.

Additionally, you can experiment with different spices or herbs in the butter to tailor it to your taste preferences. Enjoy your flavorful grilled corn as a standout side dish at your next gathering!
