Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until it's charred and tender, about 12-15 minutes.
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.
When the corn is done, remove from the grill and let it cool slightly so it can be handled comfortably.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the chipotle sauce over the grilled corn and toss to coat evenly.
Season with black pepper and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish.
