Ingredients
12 ears corn on the cob
1/3 cup lime juice, about 6 limes
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Instructions
Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Peel back corn husks. Remove silk from cobs. Soak cobs in water at least 5 min before grilling. Stir lime juice with chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place cobs on grill, using tongs to turn every 2 min until charred, about 10 min in total. After each turn, brush the length of hot cob with lime-juice mixture. Transfer to a platter. Serve when cool enough to handle.
