Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce the heat to low. Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
3. Incorporate Honey and BBQ Sauce: Stir in the honey and BBQ sauce, along with smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until the beef is evenly coated.
4. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together.
5. Prepare Tortillas: While the beef mixes, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
6. Assemble Tacos: Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into each tortilla.
7. Add Toppings: Top with your choice of diced onions, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, shredded cheese, sour cream, and lime wedges.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy while the tacos are warm and the flavors are vibrant!
