How to Make Chile Lime Butter
- 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.
- Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Shape it into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- 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.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy on grilled corn, steaks, chops, or your favorite bread!
