Instructions
  1. In a small bowl mix together the salt and chili powder
  2. Husk the corn by pulling away the husk and the strings from the corn, but be careful as to not break the stalk. The stalk serves as a handle making it easy to roast the corn evenly.
  3. Place the corn on the open gas stove at medium high heat. The kernels will begin to pop as the small amount of moisture inside the kernel turns to steam making them pop. Make sure to keep turning them around every 20 seconds or so to evenly roast the corn. Don’t be alarmed if the corn is charred in some places this adds a depth of flavor.
  4. Once the corn is nicely roasted, take the half lime or lemon and dip into spice mixture. Make sure to dip it thoroughly so that enough spice gets on the lemon or lime wedge. Take dipped spiced lime/lemon wedge and rub it all over each corn make sure to squeeze the lime/lemon while doing so. Repeat the same thing with the second corn.
  5. Adjust the taste to your liking if you want more tanginess squeeze more lemon or lime, for more salty taste sprinkle more salt on top, or if you like it spicier sprinkle more chili powder.
