Description
Delicious and flavorful Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the honey, barbecue sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the beef mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and adjust cooking times as needed.
