How to Make Chile Lime Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, with 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1-2 teaspoons chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. This allows the flavors to meld and the butter to solidify for easier spreading.
  5. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy on grilled corn, steaks, chops, or your favorite bread!
