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.
