Servings 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 to 2 teaspoons ground red chiles or chili powder
8 ears corn (with husks)

Directions

1

Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix all ingredients except corn.
2

Remove large outer husks from each ear of corn; gently pull back inner husks and remove silk. Spread each ear of corn with about 2 teaspoons butter mixture; reserve remaining butter mixture. Pull husks up over ears.
3

Place corn on grill. Cook uncovered over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes, turning frequently, until tender. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve corn with remaining butter mixture.

For a less spicy version, substitute using taco seasoning mix (from 1.25-ounce package) for the red chiles or paprika.
