Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Tacos

Sticky Sweet Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Tacos with Crispy Tortillas

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef or ground chicken

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup honey BBQ sauce

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

8 small flour tortillas or taco shells

Toppings (optional):

Shredded lettuce

Diced red onion

Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Pickled jalapeños

Fresh cilantro

Sour cream or ranch dressing

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil and add ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Reduce heat to medium. Push meat to one side of the skillet. Add butter and minced garlic to the empty side. Let the garlic sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, then mix it into the meat.

Stir in the honey BBQ sauce, honey (if using), smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and sticky.

While the meat simmers, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet until slightly crispy or microwave them for about 20 seconds.

Fill each tortilla with the hot BBQ meat, then top with shredded lettuce, onion, cheese, jalapeños, and cilantro. Drizzle with sour cream or ranch if desired.

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the sweet, savory, garlicky bliss.
