Ingredients
- 6 pieces corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small, finely minced jalapeno pepper
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cups, crumbled (optional) cotija cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the husks and silk from the corn, then lightly brush the corn with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the butter, finely minced jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Set the jalapeno lime butter aside.
Step 4
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the corn is evenly charred and tender.
Step 5
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and immediately brush each ear with the prepared jalapeno lime butter, allowing it to melt into the kernels.
Step 6
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the corn for a fresh pop of flavor.
Step 7
Optional: Add a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese for an extra layer of taste.
Step 8
Serve the grilled corn warm and enjoy!
