Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 whole lime
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 0.25 cup cotija cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Place the ears of corn on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has a light char.

Step 3

While the corn is grilling, prepare the chipotle butter sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.

Step 4

Finely chop the chipotle peppers and mince the garlic.

Step 5

Add the chipotle peppers, minces garlic, cumin powder, and salt to the melted butter. Stir to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Juice the lime and add it to the butter sauce, stirring well.

Step 7

Once the corn is grilled, remove it from the grill. Using a brush or spoon, generously slather the chipotle butter sauce over each ear of corn.

Step 8

Sprinkle the corn evenly with chopped cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese.

Step 9

Serve immediately while the corn is warm, either on the cob or by cutting the kernels from the cob and mixing them as a salad.
