6 slices bacon, halved
2-3 fresh jalapeno's (seeded and sliced 1/4 inch)
onion (make a 1/4 inch slice off a onion and cut a ring 1 inch long, need 24 pieces)
cajun seasoning

Take dove breasts and make a slice half way down the sides of the breast long ways. Place a piece of onion and jalapeno in each side of breast, wrap half slice of bacon around dove breast and secure with tooth pick. Heat up smoker and place a piece of aluminum foil on grill and place dove breast bone side down on foil. Poke holes around each dove in the aluminum foil and smoke 45 minutes or till done.
