Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Shucking the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from the fresh corn. Rinse the ears under cold water to clean them.

  2. 2

    Boiling the Corn

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the shucked corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove from water and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Preparing the Toppings

    In a small bowl, mix together the butter, salt, black pepper, lime juice, and chili powder until well combined.

Serving

  1. 4

    Applying Toppings

    Once the corn is cool enough to handle, brush the butter mixture generously over each ear of corn.

  2. 5

    Adding Cheese and Cilantro

    Sprinkle a generous amount of Cotija cheese over the buttered corn, followed by fresh cilantro for garnish.

  3. 6

    Final Touch

    Serve immediately while warm, with additional lime wedges on the side if desired.
