Tender beef is cooked in garlic butter and glazed with a sweet and smoky honey-BBQ sauce, then tucked into soft tortillas with cheese and a creamy drizzle for a flavor-packed taco night favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or beef strips
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup honey BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 soft taco tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (for creamy drizzle)
- 1 Tbsp honey (for creamy drizzle)
- 1 Tbsp BBQ sauce (for creamy drizzle)

Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
