Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 beef tongue (2-3 pounds)
  • 1/4 of medium size onion
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Water (enough to cover the beef tongue)
  • warm corn tortillas
  • 1 cup of chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup of chopped white onion
  • salsa of your choice.

Instruction

  • Rinse the beef tongue with water and place in your crockpot, add onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and water. Cover and set the crockpot on low for 8 hours. Cook until tender. If after 8 hours the meat is not tender enough to shred cook a little bit longer. Not all Crockpots work alike.
  • Remove the Beef tongue from the crock pot and place in a large dish, remove skin using a knife to make a cut at first and discard. Trim off any fatty tissue at the bottom end. As you can see from the pictures above it is mostly meat.
  • Shred the meat using 2 forks and place in a serving bowl with some of the cooking broth that has already been degrease and strained.
