Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos: Sweet, Savory, and Irresistible

These Garlic Butter Honey BBQ Beef Tacos are the ultimate fusion of savory and sweet flavors, bringing together juicy, tender beef with the rich taste of garlic butter and the smoky sweetness of BBQ sauce. The garlic butter gives the beef a rich, savory base, while the honey BBQ sauce adds a sweet, tangy finish that perfectly complements the meat’s flavor. The soft taco shells are the ideal vessel for these flavors, and the fresh toppings like cilantro and lime add a bright, zesty contrast. This dish is best enjoyed as a quick weeknight dinner or a fun weekend meal with friends and family. You can swap the beef for chicken or ground turkey for a lighter version, or adjust the sweetness of the BBQ sauce to suit your taste.

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or skirt steak, thinly sliced
  
  

• 2 tablespoons butter
  
  

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
  

• 1/4 cup honey
  
  

• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of flavor)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  
  

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  
  

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

• 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  
  

• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  
  

• Lime wedges (for serving)
  
  

Directions

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
   
   

2. Add the sliced beef to the skillet, season with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
   
   

3. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, BBQ sauce, and soy sauce. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef and stir to coat. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavors to meld.
   
   

4. Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable.
   
   

5. To assemble the tacos, spoon the beef mixture onto the tortillas, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
   
   

6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
