Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef (preferably 80/20 for juiciness)

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, but not browned.

    Cook the Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour the sauce over the browned beef in the skillet.

        Combine and Simmer: Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Adjust seasoning to taste as needed.

          Prepare the Tortillas: While the beef is simmering, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are pliable.

            Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the flavorful BBQ beef mixture into the warmed tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and cilantro, if using.

              Serve: Arrange the tacos on a platter with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos!
