Preparation

Step 1

* Note: Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors. Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
