Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Corn

    While the grill is heating up, shuck the corn, removing all the husks and silk. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Coat with Olive Oil

    Brush each corn cob generously with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

  4. 4

    Season the Corn

    Sprinkle salt evenly over the corn cobs to enhance the flavor.

Grilling

  1. 5

    Grill the Corn

    Place the corn cobs directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are charred and the corn is tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Chipotle and Queso Fresco

    Once the corn is grilled, remove from the grill and sprinkle chipotle powder over the hot corn. Then, crumble queso fresco generously on top.

  2. 7

    Serve with Lime

    Cut the lime into wedges and serve alongside the corn for squeezing over the top for added zest.
