  • 4 fresh limes, quartered
  • Garlic butter, recipe follows
  • 1/2 cup grated cotija cheese

    It was quick and easy to make, but sadley it is an adult taste my son did not like it. I give it four star for flavor!

    I intended to follow this recipe exactly as stated to discover we were out of propane. Left corn whole, soaked 30 minutes and placed in oven at 450 degrees for 25 minutres, removed husk and seasoned per this recipe it rocked!

    Have made this corn a few times a few different ways! Still haven't found the cheese but it is great without it! Hoping to find the right cheese today!
