Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbly, about 1-2 minutes. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the beef is thoroughly browned.
  3. Reduce heat to low, and stir in 3 tablespoons of honey, 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
  5. Warm soft taco tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Fill tortillas with the savory beef mixture, drizzle with taco sauce, and sprinkle with cheddar cheese and cilantro.
  6. Fold the tacos carefully and serve them immediately while warm.
