Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ears corn, husk and silk removed
  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste

  • Tajin, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Arrange the corn on a large baking sheet. Coat each ear with softened butter and season with salt and pepper.
