Remove eggs and jalapenos from the Traeger.

Slice top off the jalapenos, slice in half, remove seeds with a spoon and dice very finely.

In a medium bowl carefully scoop the yolks out of the eggs. Add the jalapeno peppers, 1 tbsp bacon bits, mayo, vinegar, mustard, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Using a fork, mash the mixture together and taste for seasoning. Add more salt if needed.
