Grilled Jalapeno Lime Corn on the Cob Recipe Takes Corn to the Next Level Grilling Vegetables Side Dishes

My entire family loves corn on the cob, simply boiled and buttered, as a side dish. Lately I’ve been thinking about spicing it up a bit on the grill.

A friend shared the most perfect corn-on-the-cob recipe and I just have to pass it on. With ingredients like jalapeño peppers, lime juice and cilantro, this easy vegetable recipe certainly takes sweet corn (and dinner) to the next level.
