Total time: 35 min
Yield: Serves 6
Ingredients: 6 ears fresh corn, husks and silk removed; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened; 3 tablespoons honey; 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely minced; 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (or feta cheese as substitute); 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped; 1 teaspoon lime zest; 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/4 teaspoon chili powder; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste; Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the glaze

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, minced chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/204°C). Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the corn

Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until the corn is charred in spots and tender. Be careful not to burn it.
Apply the glaze

When the corn is almost done, brush it generously with the honey chipotle glaze. Allow the corn to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, to let the glaze caramelize slightly.
Garnish and serve

Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush with any remaining glaze. Sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrus kick.
