Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small taco-sized tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

      Add the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef. Stir until well combined, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and let the flavors meld.

        While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over the stove flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable.

          Assemble the tacos: Spoon a generous amount of the garlic butter honey BBQ beef mixture into each tortilla.

            Top the beef with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, and cilantro if desired.

              Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
