Ingredients
For the Beef Filling:
1 lb ground beef or thinly sliced beef strips
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup BBQ sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Cook the Beef:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the ground beef or beef strips to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart if using ground beef. Drain any excess fat.

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, honey, BBQ sauce, and smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
3. Assemble the Tacos:
Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave.
Add a generous portion of the beef mixture to each tortilla. Drizzle with the prepared taco sauce, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
