Ingredients for Aztec Corn Bbq D In Husks

  • 8 ears of corn
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • Red Sweet Peppers
  • Jalapeno Peppers
  • Green Onions
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Salt & Pepper

How to Make Aztec Corn Bbq D In Husks

  1. 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.
  2. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs; discard cobs.
  3. 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.
  4. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently stir to combine.
  5. 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.
  6. Remove the soaked husks from the water and pat the insides dry with a paper towel.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Remove the corn from the grill once heated through. Remove the twine and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
