• Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
• For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

CHILI AND CUMIN BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.

• Place them on the grill. Brush butter mixture evenly over corn. Grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve with lime wedges.
• Note: Corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill. Cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back. When buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes. Basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs. Once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are. This way, they won't burn the mouth.
