Prepare the Jalapeños

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, spicy paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. Mix until well combined.

Stuff the Jalapeños
Using a spoon, fill each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture, packing it in well.

Wrap with Pancetta
Take a slice of pancetta and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

Bake
Place the wrapped jalapeños on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pancetta is crispy and the cheese is melted.
