📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the grill on the highest setting.
2
Remove the husk from each ear of corn. Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the corn in one layer of aluminum foil. Grill for about ⏱️ 5 minutes each “side” – rotating corn 3 times during grilling.
olive oil1 tablespoonsalt and pepper
3
After the corn has been on the grill for 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes I like to remove the foil and let the corn cook on the grill 5 to ⏱️ 6 minutes longer. This help the corn get a nice smoky grilled flavor and it leaves delicious charred marks.
4
Remove the corn from the grill and if eating straight off the cob, allow the corn to cool ⏱️ 3 minutes. Then brush with butter and eat.
5
If you would like to remove the corn from the cob allow the corn to cool completely, about 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Then place the corn on a cutting board, holding it near the top of the ear. Using a sharp knife, start at the top and cut downward, cutting the corn from the cob. Continue cutting until all of the corn is removed.
6
For the the chipotle lime and cotija cheese butter, combine all ingredients except the cheese and mix well. Rub the corn with the butter and then sprinkle on the cheese.
