When slightly cooled, pull husks away from corn kernels and remove any silk strings. Remove husks or use them as a handle by peeling them all the way back and gathering them together.

Spread grilled corn with butter, sprinkle with salt. Slowly rotate corn cob in hand while squeezing onto it one quarter of the lime. Continue rotating while sprinkling it with the cilantro, jalapeño, cotija, and chili powder. Use leftover ingredients, cotija, cilantro etc. for grilled tacos.

Blue Cheese Butter with Chives

Soften butter and mix in 4 tablespoons of blue cheese. Set aside. When corn is ready spread with blue cheese butter, sprinkle each cob with 1 tablespoon crumbled blue cheese and a few pinches of chives. Use leftover blue cheese butter on top of grilled steaks.
