Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Cook 1 cup quinoa according to package directions. Add 1/4 cup chopped cilantro while cooking. Cover and set aside.

Cut the bacon halves crosswise and wrap them with slices of about 1 pound of scallops. Secure with wooden toothpicks if necessary.

Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the scallops and sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes, until the scallops are cooked through (opaque).
While the scallops are cooking, prepare the papaya sauce. In a small bowl, combine the diced papaya, 2 tablespoons of cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and cumin. Season with salt and black pepper.
Remove 2 cooked scallops from the pan and refrigerate for another recipe. Serve the remaining scallops with quinoa and papaya sauce.
