1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Juice of 3 limes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cotija cheese or feta cheese
Directions

- Peel back the corn husks, leaving on to use as handles while eating. Rub the chili-lime butter all over the corn. Garnish with the cotija cheese.
