Tacos de Lengua
From 'Tu Casa Mi Casa' by Enrique Olvera
These Beef Tongue Tacos are a street food classic served all across Mexico.Ingredients
- For the Tongue
- 1 beef tongue
- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- 1 clove garlic, halved
- 3 bay leaves
- ½ tsp coriander seeds
- 2 ancho chillies, seeded
- 2 tsp salt
- For the Tacos
- 140ml Bone Marrow salsa
- 40g fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- Lime wedges, to serve
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 24 (or more) street-sized tortillas
Recipe
- In a large pot, combine the tongue, onion, garlic, bay leaves, coriander seeds, and ancho chillies. Add water to cover by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 45 minutes. Add the salt to taste.
- Remove from the heat and let the tongue rest in the liquid for 20 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle but still hot, remove the tongue from the liquid and peel the outer layer with your hands.
- Cut the tongue into 1 inch pieces.
- Place a large cast-iron frying pan over high heat. Add the salsa and tongue and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving plate and lay out with the coriander, white onion, and limes. Set out the tortillas and let everyone assemble their own tacos.
