Post date: Sep 6, 2011 2:03:04 PM

Ingredients:

4-6 ears of corn, in husk

1 teaspoon ancho chili powder

Juice of 1 lime, plus 1 lime cut into wedges

1 tablespoon lime zest

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon olive oil

3 tablespoons butter, room-temperature

Pinch of salt and pepper

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine butter chili powder, lime juice, zest, garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk in olive oil and set aside.

Peel back corn husks but don’t remove them. Remove silk and fold husks back around the ears. Soak in warm water for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, preheat grill. Remove ears, fold back husks and pat dry. Spread generously with butter mixture. Fold husks over once more and grill, turning frequently, for 20-30 minutes. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges.
