Beef Tongue Taco's

Beef Tongue Taco’s

This recipe isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you have the courage to try something a little different, I think you will love it! Just get past the look of it raw and give it a try.

Start off with a large boiling pot and add the following ingredients -

2 yellow onions, quartered

1 clove garlic, peeled

6 bay leaves

4 tbsp salt / 2 tbsp pepper

4 tbsp vegetable oil

Add 2 Beef Tongues and fill the rest of the pot with water. Simmer for 1 hour.

Take the tongues out and let them cool. Once they are cooled, peel off the top layer of skin to expose the meat.

Cover with yellow mustard and coat heavily with Mexican Style El Pastor Seasoning.

Put the tongues on the smoker at 250 degrees. Let them smoke until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, this should take about 2 hours.

Once they reach 160 degrees you can slice, chop, dice or shred the meat to your liking. Serve on warmed corn tortilla’s with -

Feta Cheese, Onion, Sliced Raddish, Cilantro, Fiesta Lime Slaw Kit (see photos) and finish them off with a fresh squeeze of Lime Juice over the top.

I really think you will enjoy this recipe, our house loved it!!
