Cilantro lime butter roasted corn
-- Warmed and soften unsalted butter stick--salted okay too
-- chopped cilantro leafy part
-- lime zest
-- lime juices (1-2), depends on how many corns
-- HD aluminum foil
+ Mix all the food ingredients above into a bowl (messy--yes!)
+ Grab a handful of the mixture and smear on the corn and wrap the corn into the foil and seal tight OR spread the mix on the foil and place the corn
on foil and wrap.
+ Toss the corn into a BBQ grill or oven, cook as normal.
+ Carefully open the foil, it's hot and enjoy.
The corn comes out nice and hot and very moist and juicy (just don't overcook or burn them).
yank um\' and crank um\'

You got me thinking; and drooling.
We like to open the corn husks and dip the corn into the melted butter.
Then close the husks and secure with a twist-tie.
Then throw them on the grill or campfire.
I bet this would work great with your recipe.

Here everyone puts mayo and powdered cheese and lime on their elotes, corn on the cob...sounds weird but is actually delicious. My husband Juan asked
for the mayo when we were visiting the corn belt in Canda this summer and everyone looked at him like he had a third eye!! Nobody would try it but
trust me...it's yummy

We tried this a couple nights ago. Decided to add some cayenne pepper to the mix as well. VERY GOOD, but it seems like the white corn crop has peaked
this year. The corn wasnt very flavorful.
Prolly shouda bought it at South Coast Farms, I guess.........

The BEST way to get LIME ZEST is to buy yourself a "Micro Plane Grater." They give you a very fine zest which works well in recipes. But in a pinch,
a regular fine grater will also work okay.

All true, but tender Silver Queen and most high-yield American high-tech hybrid corn varieties make lousy tortillas. That's why Mexican farmers
reject these "advances". In Mexico, the poor have survived on the basic corn tortilla as the number one primary staple for centuries. Hard to change
that.

On our mainland Mex surf trip years ago we survived on the jelote(maize) being sold on the roadside carts--it was BBQed while, we guess, being basted
in lard...man was it good. And like Don Jorge said--its a different kind of corn down there--more like hominy--but we felt it was a perfect flavor
match for how they were cooking it. No foil either, to let it carbonize a bit.
I've occasionally seen that variety of corn growing in barrio backyards, gets very tall--maybe 15 feet plus. Don Jorge--do you know where to get some
of those seeds? I'm in Texas now and we've got a spot for some and the heat in summer to let it thrive.

Probably doesn't matter a great deal; lower=longer, higher=shorter. I'd say anywhere from 350 to 425, 1/2 hr to hr, depending on variety. I use a
covered grill for most stuff and put the corn on the side off the direct flame. Have left it from an hr to 3 or 4 when smoking pork shoulders slow.
Haven't burned it yet. In the house, if the smoke alarm goes off, it's probably done.

In east L.A. theres a little old man with a small cart who sells nothing but corn whipped up with mayo and cheese etc... I must say it is one the most
delicious things on god's earth. This man has such a big line of customers, it's ridiculous. For those of you who haven't had this recipe, do yourself
a favor and find it...you'll understand then. Cheesus cries methinks I'll go get a cup ahorita mismo!! al rato!
