Margarita-Inspired Grilled Corn

Ingredients 0/6

Step 1

Peel back the husks of each ear of corn, but leave them attached at the bottom. Pull off all the silk strands from the kernels, then fold the husks back around the corn. Soak the ears in a bowl of lukewarm water for about an hour to keep them moist while grilling.

Step 2

When you’re ready, fire up your grill to medium-high and give the grate a light coating of oil to prevent sticking. In a small bowl, mix together some salt and lime zest for a fresh, tangy seasoning.

Step 3

Take the corn out of the water and peel back the husks again, still keeping them attached at the base. Pat the corn dry with paper towels, but leave the husks damp. Brush the kernels with melted butter, then sprinkle the lime salt and a bit of chili powder all over for a little kick.

Step 4

Place the corn on the grill and cook it, turning every few minutes, until it’s tender and nicely charred—this usually takes around 25 minutes. Enjoy!
