For the Beef Filling

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Dice one medium onion and mince three cloves of garlic. Melt a generous amount of garlic butter over low heat until fragrant and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside while prepping the beef.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes until hot. Add one pound of ground beef with the diced onion, cooking for 6-8 minutes until browned and onions are translucent.
  3. Drain excess fat, leaving a tablespoon in the skillet. Lower the heat to medium and pour in reserved melted garlic butter and taco seasoning. Stir together for another 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in half a cup of honey BBQ sauce into the beef mixture, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Warm eight small tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
  6. Assemble tacos by spooning a generous amount of the beef filling into the center of a warm tortilla. Top with your favorite ingredients.
  7. Serve immediately with lime wedges for a refreshing touch and enjoy together!

Notes

Perfectly cooked beef should be brown but still juicy. Melt garlic butter separately for deeper flavor infusion. Prepare the beef filling in advance for a quick dinner option. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing.
