Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbsp unsalted butter

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice)

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

    Cook the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

      Season: Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.

        Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until warm and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side or 1 minute in a microwave covered with a damp paper towel.

          Assemble Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the BBQ beef mixture. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

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