Tacos Lengua

LENGUA TACO RECIPE:



They are incredible! You have to do them right! Here is my recipe:

1 3-4 lb beef tongue

2 large onions, peeled

The cloves from 1 head (yes an entire head) of garlic, peeled and crushed

6-7 bay leaves

1 Tbsp of peppercorns

2 Tbsp salt

Vegetable oil

Corn tortillas (2 to 3 per person)

Salsa verde*

Avocados

Cilantro

Chopped red onion

Thinly sliced radishes for garnish



Drop first six ingredients in a big stock pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water, bring to boil and cover. Set to simmer(keep covered whole time), for 4 hours. Remove and let cool. Remove the ugly outer layer, and slice 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices, then cube the meat. Heat up some Manteca(pork fat) in a hot skilllet and crisp up the cubes of lengua. Set cooked meat on paper towels. Cook in small batches so as not to steam the meat. Serve with homeade or grilled corn tortillas and green salsa verde(or recado). Cilantro, red onion(diced). I like too have pickled radishes and jalapeños on the side. *You can drizzle Mexican crema and Cotija cheese if you like.

If you use my recipe...it can be served to anyone . It is like the best Roast you’ve ever had ! Nice crispy outside and just falls apart in the mouth. Just like a good roast beef flavor/texture w taco ingredients. Some Taqueria’s don’t make it right and it had a bad mouth feel or after taste . Mine is ideal. I made some for my new girl (Latina) and she said it was better than her Mama’s ....in front of her mama! They all enjoyed them. That “White Boy” can cook! Lol
