Description
oGarlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines savory ground beef with a sweet and tangy sauce, all wrapped in warm tortillas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 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.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place 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 if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture or top the tacos with hot sauce.
- For a healthier option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and use whole wheat tortillas.
