Tacos de Lengua

There's some chicken there for the wimps. I was actually amazed that the boys ate it and actually liked it. It's great stuff, don't let the stigma stop you from trying one.

Tongue isn't very common among the Caucasian city folks diet.

To prepare the tongue I boiled/simmered the Tongue in Mexican spices, onion and jalapeno's for 3 hours, then dipped in cold water and pealed the skin off, then sliced and removed some of the fattier/gelatinous portion, then chopped and fried in Fajita seasoning, Mmm good!

The fattier/gelatinous portions I saved to make some bacon wrapped and stuffed Jalapenos tomorrow.

I love the lengua, it's so much softer, more tender than other meat that you get in tacos.

Te quiero tacos de lengua con cebollas, cilantro, lima, y pico de gallo.

you should do the corn like the mexicans do

grill it then put a mexican mayo (alot milder than ours) with cayenne pepper and salt on it. tastes better than it sounds
