Learn how to make delicious Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version, and adjust the level of spice with additional chili flakes or jalapeños if you like a kick!

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the cooked beef, stirring to combine.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the beef simmer in the sauce for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  5. While the beef is simmering, warm your tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft.
  6. Assemble the tacos by spooning the beef mixture into each tortilla. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra burst of freshness.

My abuela always said the key to a great dish is tasting as you go, adjusting the seasoning to your preference. Feel free to add more honey or BBQ sauce if you crave a sweeter profile!
