- 1 onion, quartered
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 8 small flour tortillas

Instructions
-
In a large pot, place the beef tongue, onion, garlic, bay leaf, and salt. Add enough water to cover the tongue by about an inch.
-
Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the tongue is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
-
Remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly. Peel off the tough outer skin and discard.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
-
Rub the spice mixture all over the tongue, ensuring it is well coated.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the tongue on all sides until it is nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Remove the tongue from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
-
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave.
-
To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of beef tongue on each tortilla. Top with diced onions, chopped cilantro, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.
-
Serve the Delicious Beef Tongue Tacos hot and enjoy!
