Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C).
Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. Set the jalapeno halves aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
Spoon the cream cheese mixture into each jalapeno half, filling them evenly.
Wrap each stuffed jalapeno half with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick to hold it in place.
Lightly brush the outside of the bacon-wrapped jalapenos with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the jalapeno wraps on the preheated grill, cheese side up. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are tender.
Carefully remove the jalapeno wraps from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled jalapeno wraps warm and enjoy!
