Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1/2 teaspoon finely minced canned chipotles plus 1/2 teaspoon sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 6 ears fresh corn in husks
• Nonstick cooking spray
• Lime wedges (optional)

Directions

1. Combine the butter, lime zest and juice, chipotles and sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat a grill to medium-high. Remove outer husks from corn, leaving just a few of the innermost layers. Gently pull those down, remove the silks, and pull the husks back up. Lightly mist grill with cooking spray. Cook corn 8 to 12 minutes, turning often, until crisp-tender and lightly charred.
3. Strip away husks; brush corn with butter mixture. Serve with lime wedges if desired.
