Inspired by our friends at Lottē, this Chipotle Grilled Corn Purée is a smoky, spicy dish that brings the vibrant flavors of grilled corn and chipotle peppers together in a velvety purée. Start by preheating your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to a fiery 500ºF. Grill shucked ears of corn directly on the grates, turning frequently until each side is lightly charred, which takes about 8 minutes. Once grilled, carefully cut the kernels from the cobs, scraping the “corn milk” into a Vitamix Food Processor for extra creaminess. Blend the corn with chipotles in adobo until you achieve a mostly smooth consistency. Transfer this mixture to a dutch oven, stir in Cattleman’s Grill Road House Seasoning, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, reducing the liquid to intensify the flavors. Turn off the heat and gently fold in room-temperature butter, wildflower honey, lime juice, and zest, creating a rich and balanced purée. Mix in half of the crumbled cotija cheese, reserving the other half for garnish. Serve warm, topped with the remaining cotija and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, offering a perfect blend of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors in every bite.

This Chipotle Grilled Corn Purée is a dish that brings together the warmth of a backyard barbecue with the comfort of homemade flavors. Imagine the smell of corn grilling on a summer afternoon, charred to perfection, and then blended with smoky chipotles for a bit of a kick. As you stir in butter, honey, and a squeeze of fresh lime, the kitchen fills with the rich, savory aromas that make everyone feel right at home. Topped with a sprinkle of cotija cheese and a handful of cilantro, this purée is the kind of dish you’d share with friends and family at a casual gathering, where every bite feels like a taste of togetherness.
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 500ºF, set up for grilling with standard grates.
Place the shucked corn on the grates and rotate frequently until lightly charred on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Cut the corn off of the cob and place in the Vitamix Food Processor. Scrape the “corn milk” from the cobs into the food processor, using a knife.
Add the chipotles in adobo to the food processor and process until mostly smooth.
Transfer the corn mixture to a dutch oven. Add the Cattleman’s Grill Road House Seasoning and cook over medium heat until most of the liquid is cooked out, about 20 minutes.
Turn off the heat and fold in the butter, honey and lime juice and zest. Stir in half of the cotija and save the rest for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning, as needed.
Serve the corn topped with crumbled cotija and minced cilantro.
