Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for optimal flavor)

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef Mixture: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring not to let it burn.

    Cook the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes).

      Add Seasonings: Drain any excess fat, if needed. Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

        Simmer the Flavor: Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes. This will let the flavors meld and thicken the sauce.

          Warm Tortillas: While the beef is simmering, warm the tortillas on another skillet or directly over the stovetop flame for a few seconds on each side until pliable and slightly charred for added flavor.

            Assemble Tacos: To assemble the tacos, take a warm tortilla and spoon some of the garlic butter honey BBQ beef in the center. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and crumbled feta or cotija cheese.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top and serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.
