Directions
  1. Score the cream cheese and season generously with Spanglish Asadero Elote Seasoning. Smoke at 225°F until soft and cracked, about 30-40 minutes.
    ‍
  2. While the cream cheese smokes, blend sour cream, chipotle in adobo, guajillo, garlic, lime juice and salt until smooth to make the chipotle crema.
    ‍
  3. Grill the corn and poblano pepper until nicely charred. Remove the kernels from the cob, peel the charred skin from the poblano, and dice.
    ‍
  4. Mix the smoked cream cheese, grilled corn, poblano, cotija, cilantro, lime juice and chipotle crema until combined.
    ‍
  5. Slice kielbasa into 1/2 inch pieces. Wrap each piece with a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick to create the pig shots.
    ‍
  6. Cook indirect at 350°F until the bacon is crispy, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
    ‍
  7. Fill each pig shot with the elote cream cheese mixture.
    ‍
  8. Top with more cotija, cilantro and chipotle crema. 🌽🔥
