Preheat the grill.

Take a couple sticks of chorizo and place them in a cast iron pan on the grill to brown.

Cook the chorizo until browned, then remove it from the grill and let it cool.

Prepare the jalapeños by cutting off the tops and scooping out the seeds and membranes with a spoon.

Mix the cooled chorizo with cream cheese in the pan until well combined, starting with one block of cream cheese and adding more if needed.

Stuff the jalapeños with the chorizo and cream cheese mixture, keeping the filling level with the jalapeño.

Wrap each stuffed jalapeño with half a slice of bacon, ensuring it stays wrapped without needing toothpicks.

Season the wrapped jalapeños with honey chipotle rub.

Place the jalapeños on the grill and cook until the bacon is crispy, checking after about 30-40 minutes.
