1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks. Stir occasionally, cooking until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. This will help keep the tacos from being greasy.
4. Now, it’s time to add flavor! Stir in the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. While the meat is simmering, it’s a good time to warm up the tortillas. You can do this in a few different ways:
6. Once warmed, keep the tortillas covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and pliable until you’re ready to assemble the tacos.
7. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add a pinch of salt and a little extra minced garlic if you like a stronger garlic flavor.
8. Stir the mixture well and let it simmer for a minute or two, allowing the garlic to infuse into the butter. This will be drizzled over the tacos for an extra layer of flavor.
9. Now that everything is ready, it’s time to assemble the tacos! Start by placing a warm tortilla on a plate.
10. Add a generous scoop of the BBQ meat mixture in the center of the tortilla. Don’t be shy; you want these tacos to be hearty!
11. Top the meat with a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Feel free to add as much or as little as you like based on your preferences.
12. If you’re a fan of sour cream, add a dollop on top of the cheese. It adds a nice creaminess that balances the flavors beautifully.
13. Finally, drizzle the garlic butter over the assembled taco. This is where the magic happens!
