Grilled Corn On The Cob With Chile And Lime Recipes

Steps:

• Mix crema mexicana, fresh lime juice, chile powder, and coarse kosher salt in small bowl to blend. DO AHEAD Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove outer husks from corn, leaving inner pale green husks attached. Fold back inner husks; remove corn silk. Sprinkle corn with salt and pepper. Rewrap inner husks around corn. Grill corn until husks are charred and beginning to pull away and corn is tender, turning frequently, about 10 minutes. Grill lime quarters until lightly charred, about 5 minutes.
• Pull husks away from corn to expose kernels. Place corn and lime on platter. Brush corn with crema-lime mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and set aside.
• Carefully peel back husk from the ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.
• Preheat a grill to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towel and spread butter mixture evenly on corn. Fold husk back over corn and grill, turning often, for 35 minutes (change heat to medium-high for the last ten minutes of grilling). Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn in their husks until the husks start to blacken, about 3 minutes per side.
• Mix together the butter, chili powder, cayenne pepper, lime juice and some salt and black pepper in a bowl until incorporated.
• Peel back the corn husks, leaving on to use as handles while eating. Rub the chili-lime butter all over the corn. Garnish with the cotija cheese.

Steps:

• Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
• While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Spread the queso fresco onto another plate.
• Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
• For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

Steps:

• Open husks, but leave attached, and remove silks from corn; replace husks and soak corn in cold water 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat indoor or outdoor grill over medium heat.
• Remove corn from water and cook, turning occasionally, 15 minutes until tender; place in warm oven until ready to serve.
• While corn is cooking combine mayonnaise, chili powder, and Parmesan in a small bowl; thin to desired consistency with fresh lime juice.
• To serve, remove husks and spread corn with chili lime mayo.

Steps:

• Place the butter in a small bowl, add the chili powder, lime peel, lime juice, jalapeño and salt and mix well.
• Shape the butter into any form you like, cover and place in the refrigerator until shortly before ready to serve, at which time allow butter to soften.
• Heat grill to medium-high.
• Place corn (in husk) on the grill, rotating the corn so you cook on all sides, for approximately 15 minutes total.
• Remove from grill and cool slightly (so you are able to peel the husk) and peel. Place corn back on grill over the same flame for about 4 minutes, once again rotating the corn for even grill marks.
• Serve the corn immediately with the chili lime butter.
• Cooking option: Place the corn (in the husk) on a plate and microwave for 5 minutes (21/2 minutes per side); when ready to grill, remove the husks and grill over a medium-high flame for about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat BBQ to medium-high. Husk corn. Soak in water at least 5 minutes before grilling.
• Stir lime juice with chili powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. (We would suggest adding tequilla) Set aside.
• Place cobs on grill, using tongs to turn every 2 minutes until charred, about 10 min total. After each turn, brush the length of the cob with juice mixture. Transer to a platter. Serve when cool enough to handle.
