Chris' Grilled Jalapeno Wraps

Poohrona's Note:

This a recipe that my son came up with one day while playing in his kitchen and when I tried it, I fell in love! I love that he uses turkey bacon instead of pork as we do not eat pork products anymore. This is a tasty treat that leaves you wanting more.

Very tasty! Made these for appetizers - and I thought they were delish! Some of the jalapenos were mild and others were really hot. I like spicy food. I didn't have turkey bacon, so I used regular. You have to watch them closely on the grill so they don't flameup (probably because I used "real" bacon. Will make again!
