The only time I've personally made tongue was pork tongue on the BBQ that was marinated (very very thinly sliced) and it was incredible - I turned people who were grossed out by the idea into true believers. I marinated in mirin, sesame oil, and soy sauce. It's like a chewy slice of steak (but in a good way)

Have you ever had a lengua taco? SOOOOOOOOOO good! I haven't made lengua (beef tongue) for tacos myself, but I've had them at restaurants and taquerias and they're delish. I did a quick google search of a lengua recipe and found this: jamsgems4u.blogspot.com/2008/0...an.html Sounds yummy!

My experience was if you left it on the grill too long it got chewy so I'm not sure how it'll hold up in a crockpot.

Beef Tongue is most most most delicious

My grandfather used to make tongue tacos - so so good (as were the goat and pork jowel tacos!)

1 beef tongue
1 whole Passila - Ancho Dried Chile
1 large onion, quartered
4 or 5 garlic cloves, mashed
1/2 tsp Cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups beef stock or packet of caldo de costilla de res
*in some places it is also called caldo de sabor de res
(look in the mexican food aisle)
water, to cover

Cook on Low for 8 hours

When you take the tongue out you'll peel off the outer layer
and then shred the tongue

When done, grab some corn tortillas (steam them to warm them) and add
cilantro, serrano chiles, queso, avocado, tomatoes and squirt with lime

muy sabor!
