Hey all, had a craving for some tacos but wanted to try something new. Doing some research on different things to use for tacos and ended up deciding on lengua… we had a beef tongue in the freezer that needed used up!
Anyway, here we go! Took the tongue and sliced down the center so the meat could soak up some of the seasoning! Seasoned with some Frag Out Husky taco seasoning and a couple pinches of Posole seasoning! Also tossed in a couple chipotles in adobo sauce and a few tablespoons of diced pablanos! Put in the SV for 24 hours at 165*
While waiting, made up a couple batches of salsa verde! For the wife and daughter, oven roasted some tomatillos, sweet peppers, a white onion and some garlic cloves! Same for the son and I other than replaced a couple sweet peppers with a couple jalapeños!
Oven roasted at 400* for 25 minutes, here’s what we ended up with!
So after a few hours, figured a snack was in order!
After 24 hours, pulled out of SV and let cool a bit and peeled the outer tough skin off and the chunks of fat that I left on for flavoring!
Diced up one half of the tongue and hit with a bit of the Frag Out Husky taco seasoning!
Put a couple tablespoons of EVOO in the CI skillet to crisp up the diced meat just a bit!
Put the CI on low to keep the meat warm, crumbled up some Queso Fresco cheese, diced up some cilantro and some lime wedges!
So, out come the yellow corn tortillas, the salsa verde.. time to plate up!
Well, we will for sure do these again… Everyone went back for seconds! Was a nice change up!
Thanks for looking!
