Fire Roasted Corn On The Cob With Chipotle Butter And Cotija Cheese
- 8 whole Corn On The Cob In The Husk
- 1 whole Chipotle In Adobo Sauce
- 8 ounces, weight Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- 8 ounces, weight Cotija Cheese, Crumbled
- 8 pinches Salt, Only If Necessary
- Fire up the barbeque and let the coals burn down to medium temperature or preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Peel back the husks and remove silk from corn. Rinse the corn and the husks. Replace the husks over the corn and secure with a strip of corn husk. Place on the grate of the barbeque or rack of the oven. Wrap in foil if placing the corn around the edges of the coals.
- Roast corn for 20 to 30 minutes. Turn every 5 minutes or so. Test one of the ears after 15 minutes to see if you need to rotate the corn.
- Meanwhile, mix the chipotle chile (remove the seeds if you want to tone down the heat a little) with a little of the adobo sauce into the butter. Chill the butter a little if it becomes too soft and begins to separate.
- Remove the corn from the heat. Peel back the husks. Spread with chipotle butter, black pepper and cotija cheese. Add a little salt if necessary. Remember, the cheese is salty on its own.
