Ingredients
  

  • 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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. 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.
  4. While the beef mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. 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.
  6. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
