# Steps:
01 -
Place a skillet on medium heat. Toss in the ground beef and stir, breaking it apart into small pieces, until it's brown and cooked through. Remove any extra grease from the pan.
02 -
Scoot the browned beef to one side of the skillet. On the empty side, melt the butter and toss in the garlic. Stir it around for about 30 seconds until it smells amazing.
03 -
Mix the buttery garlic with the beef. Pour in the BBQ sauce, honey, smoked paprika, and chili powder if you'd like it spicy. Season with salt and pepper, then let it all cook together for a couple of minutes so the flavors blend.
04 -
Warm the tortillas by tossing them in a dry skillet on medium heat or wrapping them in foil and putting them in the oven for a bit.
05 -
Spoon a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Pile on cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, red onions, and any extras you want.
06 -
Serve your tacos right away with lime wedges to squeeze on top for a bit of zing.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap the beef for ground turkey or chicken to lighten things up.
02 -
Pick a spicy or smoky BBQ sauce if you want bolder flavor.
03 -
Add sliced avocado or drizzle ranch dressing for a creamy twist.
