Chili-Lime Buttered Corn with Cotija Cheese
Author: 
Recipe type: Direct heat
Serves: 1+ cup butter
 
Ingredients
  • For the Chili-Lime Butter:
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder - I used Gebhardt
  • 1 medium lime
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  •  :
  • Perfect Grilled Corn (click to see how)
  • 1 cup Cotija or feta cheese, crumbled
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
  1. For the butter: Add butter and chili powder to a mixing bowl. Finely grate the lime zest into the bowl with a Microplane and then cut the lime in and squeeze in half of the juice. Beat together with an electric hand mixer until well-blended (may also use a fork). Transfer butter mixture to a sheet of parchment paper, wax paper, or plastic wrap. Fold paper over and roll into a cylinder; twist the ends tightly to form a log. Wrap in foil and chill until firm. Slice and serve as needed. Butter will keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
  2. Grill the corn over medium direct heat. Click here for my post on Perfect Grilled Corn.
  3. To serve: Slather corn with chili-lime butter, sprinkle with the Cotija cheese and garnish with the chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges for squeezing.
