Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silk from the corn, then lightly brush the corn with olive oil to prevent sticking.
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.
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.
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.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the corn for a fresh pop of flavor.
Optional: Add a sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese for an extra layer of taste.
Serve the grilled corn warm and enjoy!
