Chili Lime Grilled Corn

5 from 12 votes
This Grilled Corn with Chili Lime Compound Butter is a Tex-Mex twist on a summer classic.  Summer and Sweet Corn are a marriage made in heaven. But plain sweet corn can get a little predictable. So I took some inspiration from one of my favorite Iron Chefs, Bobby Flay, and created a Chili Lime Grilled Corn recipe that is salty, sweet, spicy and creamy. Yum!

Christina's Notes

 
  • Add Cheese: Cotija Cheese, Feta or Queso Fresco Cheese is a wonderful addition to this corn dish.
  • Variation tip: Lime zest is a wonderful addition to the corn on the cobb.
  • Grill Pan: Make on a grill pan on the stove.
  • Bacon: Bacon bits added to the mixture add extra crunch and amazing flavor.
