We have been fans of beef tongue forever. We prefer cold salsa on the side with plenty of fresh lime juice and cilantro. Also, add oregano when cooking the tongue. If you only use a portion of the whole tongue for tacos, slicing up the remainder of the tongue for sandwiches is a heavenly meal, with Dijon mustard and maybe a little mayo. This is 'poor peoples' food, but you wouldn't tell it from the price. BTW, smoked tongue is the greatest!

This is a great dish. Add a tablespoon of garlic powder or dried ground garlic in step 2. We also serve it with medudo mix spices on the side for those who wish to spice it up a bit. Warmed corn tortillas are also good for an alternative to cornbread. This meal will leave you in a feeling of euphoria, and you will want to take a nice nap afterwards.
