Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or beef strips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 soft taco tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- For the taco sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sautรฉ until fragrantโroughly 1 minute.
- Cook the Beef: Next, add your ground beef or beef strips to the skillet. Cook until itโs browned and fully cooked, which typically takes about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add Flavor: Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the beef nicely.
- Make the Taco Sauce: While your beef is simmering, take a small bowl and mix together the mayonnaise, honey, BBQ sauce, and smoked paprika until smooth. Set this aside for later.
- Assemble the Tacos: Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Spoon the flavorful beef mixture onto each tortilla.
- Top it Off: Drizzle your taco sauce over the beef, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, and add fresh cilantro if you like.
- Serve: Fold those tacos, and enjoy immediately for maximum flavor!
Notes
Leftover Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the beef mixture separately from the tortillas for up to three months.
