Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons minced seeded canned chipotle chilies*
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 large ears of corn, husked
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
  • Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
  • Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Tips:

  • For a smokier flavor, roast the corn cobs over a charcoal grill or campfire instead of boiling them.
  • If you don't have a grill or campfire, you can also roast the corn cobs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
  • Be sure to brush the corn cobs with oil before roasting them, to help prevent them from sticking to the grill or pan.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, add some minced garlic, chopped cilantro, or crumbled cotija cheese to the mixture.
  • If you don't have any chipotle peppers in adobo, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
  • Serve the corn cobs with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or crumbled cheese.

Conclusion:

Chipotle lime corn cobs are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are smoky, flavorful, and have a slight kick from the chipotle peppers. Whether you are grilling them over a campfire or roasting them in the oven, these corn cobs are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a tasty and festive side dish, give chipotle lime corn cobs a try.
