Zest 1 large lime and set aside half for juice.

Add 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the pan.

Add 1 teaspoon of lime tahin to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives, then mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and scrape the spoon to get all of it into the mixture.

Squeeze the juice from half of the large lime into the pan and mix well, tasting for salt and pepper as desired.

Pour the Cowboy butter into a bowl and let it cool and marry together.

Chop 4 ears of cleaned sweet corn in half and set aside.

Boil water in a pot and add salt.

Add the prepared corn to the boiling water and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until vibrant and tender.

Remove the corn from the water and place it in the bowl with the Cowboy butter, then pour the butter over the corn.

Sprinkle Cotija cheese over the corn and serve.
