Directions
Add the cotija cheese and lime zest to a small bowl and mix well, set aside.
To a small bowl add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander and salt. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium low heat, keep warm over low heat.
Place a large 3 quart or larger pot with a lid, over medium-high heat.
Add 3 or 4 kernels and place the lid snuggly on the pan. When you hear the kernels start to pop, add the rest of the kernels, replace the lid. Give the pot a shake back and forth.
