Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps
Grilled Bacon Jalapeño Wraps feature cream cheese–stuffed jalapeños wrapped in smoky bacon, grilled until crisp and delicious.
Ingredients
- 12 fresh jalapenos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Slice jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Fill each jalapeño half with cheese mixture.
- Wrap each with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Grill for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally, until bacon is crispy and jalapeños are tender.
- Serve hot with ranch or chipotle dipping sauce.
Notes
- Remove all seeds for a milder version.
- Use thick-cut bacon for better wrapping and texture.
- Cheddar can be swapped with Monterey Jack for a creamier filling.
- A smoker can be used instead of a grill for deeper flavour.
- Ranch dressing balances the heat when serving.
