Spicy Jalapeño Beef Stir Fry

Could This Be the Most Flavor-Packed Spicy Jalapeño Popper Mediterranean Beef Stir Fry?

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 jalapeño peppers, diced (remove seeds for a milder kick)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

Warm up a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it turns beautifully translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the minced garlic and let it release its heavenly aroma—just about a minute will do.

Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Let it brown and cook through completely, around 5-7 minutes. Drain any extra fat to keep things just right.

Now for the exciting part: fold in those diced jalapeños and juicy cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika, dried oregano, a good pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Stir everything together and let the flavors dance for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are tender.

Lower the heat and blend in the softened cream cheese until everything becomes irresistibly creamy. Sprinkle that shredded mozzarella right on top, cover the skillet, and let the cheese melt into pure perfection.

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and get ready to savor every bite!

Serve and enjoy:

For a complete meal that feels like a warm Mediterranean hug, pair this stir fry with fluffy pita bread or a fresh cucumber salad. You’re going to want to dive in fork-first!
