Dairy (Milk, Butter)

6 ears of fresh corn, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste

Grill the corn on high heat until slightly charred, then slather with a creamy chipotle lime butter mixture and garnish with cilantro.

The smokiness of the charred corn pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of the spicy butter.

For an extra kick, add more chipotle chili powder or a dash of cayenne pepper.

For dairy-free, use a dairy-free butter substitute.

This recipe can also be prepared using the stovetop or oven if grilling is not available.

You can use the broiler setting on your oven to achieve the same results.

Corn should be eaten immediately for best results. Store leftover butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Butter - Up to 1 month

Place each grilled corn on a plate, drizzle with chipotle-lime butter, and sprinkle with cilantro for added color.
