Ingredients:
For the Beef:
1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Honey BBQ Sauce:
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For Serving:
8 small flour or corn tortillas
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup shredded lettuce
¼ cup diced red onions
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges, for garnish
Directions:
Cook the Beef:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through (about 7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat.
Season the Beef:
Stir in the minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Make the Honey BBQ Sauce:
In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the BBQ sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Combine Beef with Sauce:
Pour the honey BBQ sauce over the cooked beef. Stir well to coat the beef evenly. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until warm and slightly charred.
Assemble the Tacos:
Divide the honey BBQ beef among the tortillas. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, red onions, and chopped cilantro.
Serve and Enjoy:
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately. Enjoy these sweet, smoky, and buttery tacos!
