Making Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chili Lime Butter is a breeze. Simply follow these straightforward steps:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Corn: Husk the corn and remove all silk. Rinse them under cold water to ensure they’re clean.

3. Make Chili Lime Butter: In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, cilantro, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

4. Coat the Corn: Spread a generous amount of the chili lime butter mixture evenly on each ear of corn.

5. Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and has grill marks.

6. Add More Butter: In the final minute of grilling, brush more chili lime butter on the corn to enhance the flavor and moisture.

7. Serve: Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with crumbled Cotija cheese and additional cilantro before serving.

These simple steps will lead you to an incredible grilled corn experience that’s sure to impress!
