👩🍳 How to Make Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos:
- Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. - Cook the Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed. - Add the Flavor Bomb
Stir in the butter, honey, and BBQ sauce. Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. Add salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to taste. - Warm the Tortillas
Heat your tortillas in a skillet, microwave, or directly over the flame for a slight char. - Assemble Your Tacos
Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with cheese, red onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of sour cream or crema. Add jalapeños if you like it hot, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime.
🌮 Serving Ideas:
- Side dish? Pair with Mexican rice, grilled corn, or a simple avocado salad.
- Need a low-carb version? Serve in lettuce wraps or on cauliflower tortillas.
- Leftovers? Use the beef for BBQ nachos, sliders, or burrito bowls!
🔥 Pro Tips:
- For extra depth of flavor, caramelize the onions a bit longer before adding the beef.
- Use shredded brisket or pulled beef for a more elevated, slow-cooked version.
- Want smoky heat? Add chipotle peppers in adobo or smoked paprika to the beef.
