Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until it's charred and tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 4
While the corn is grilling, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the finely chopped chipotle pepper, olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, and ground cumin.
Step 5
When the corn is done, remove from the grill and let it cool slightly so it can be handled comfortably.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 7
Pour the chipotle sauce over the grilled corn and toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Season with black pepper and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top.
Step 9
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish.
