How to Make Aztec Corn Bbq D In Husks
- Carefully peel back the husks from 8 ears of corn, removing all silk. Set aside 2 husks and soak the remaining 8 in water for 20 minutes.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs; discard cobs.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels with 1 red bell pepper (finely chopped), 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 4 tablespoons melted butter.
- Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently stir to combine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the corn mixture and sauté for 5 minutes, or until heated through and slightly softened but still crunchy.
- Remove the soaked husks from the water and pat the insides dry with a paper towel.
- Spoon about 1 cup of the corn mixture into each husk. Fold the husk around the corn, and tie securely at the top and middle with kitchen twine.
- Arrange the corn husks on the outer edge of a preheated grill (medium heat). Cook for approximately 10 minutes, turning occasionally and misting with water to prevent burning.
- Remove the corn from the grill once heated through. Remove the twine and serve immediately.
