Step 2
Bring it to a boil, then cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium & cook for around 3 hours.
Step 3
After the three hours, place the tongue on a cutting board, cut into bigger chunks to make it easier to remove the thick outer layer of the tongue, it’s impossible to eat.
Step 4
You can shred or cut the meat into smaller chunks for serving. To keep it warm, add it to a skillet with some of the cooking liquid & leave it on a low heat on your stove.
Step 5
To serve, place it on corn tortillas with salsa, cilantro, onion, lime juice & enjoy 😋
