Corn on the Cob with Chile and Lime is a quick and easy side dish, with a little bit of heat!
Inspired by Mexican street corn, this is lime-y with a kick! The corn cooks right in their husks in the microwave, doesn’t get easier or quicker than that!
How To Make Corn in the Microwave
- Leave the corn in the husk, this creates steam cooking the corn evenly.
- Rest the ears a few minutes after cooking before husking.
- When cool enough to handle peel and remove the silks.
- For just 1 or 2 ears of corn, microwave on high for 3 minutes. For 3 or 4 ears, microwave for 4 minutes. For a softer corn, add an additional minute.
