Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef or beef strips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted, then add minced garlic and cook until you can smell its aroma.

  3. Mix in the honey, BBQ sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper; let everything cook together gently for 2 to 3 minutes to blend flavors.
  4. Combine mayonnaise, honey, BBQ sauce, and smoked paprika in a bowl to make the taco sauce.

  6. Serve right away and enjoy this delicious taco fusion!

Notes

  • You can swap the ground beef for chicken or tofu according to your preference. For an extra kick, sprinkle in some cayenne or red pepper flakes. Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container for up to three days.
