A delightful appetizer featuring jalapeños stuffed with a creamy cheese mixture and wrapped in crispy bacon.
Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes using a spoon.
Wear gloves while handling jalapeños to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth.
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for easier mixing.
Fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly filled.
Use a small spoon or piping bag for precise filling.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeño half with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon covers the cheese filling to prevent it from oozing out during cooking.
Grill the wrapped jalapeños over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the jalapeños are tender, about 15 minutes.
Watch closely to prevent flare-ups from the bacon fat.
Serve the stuffed jalapeños warm as a delicious appetizer.
Garnish with chopped parsley or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor.
