Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 stick butter, room temperature*
  • 1 Tbls. ancho chile powder or chipotle chile powder
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • Corn, as many ears and you want to eat, shucked
  • Crumbled Queso Fresco or Cotija cheese
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish
  • 1 lime, sliced in wedges

Instructions

  1. In small bowl, combine butter with spices and honey and stir well to combine. Set aside or chill if using later.
  2. Heat grill to about 350. Spray the cobs with Pam or brush lightly with oil. Grill corn, turning frequently to prevent them from burning. Takes about 10 minutes to cook.
  3. When finished cooking, remove to platter and spread cobs with chile butter, squeeze some lime, and top with cilantro and crumbled cheese of your choice.

Notes

* If using unsalted butter, you may want to add a little salt to this. Just depends on your salt preferences but it needs a little to enhance the butter.

Also, if you don’t have an outdoor BBQ, don’t let that stop you… I’ve made this with my cast iron grill pan too!
