  • I am sharing one of my favorite tacos - Tacos de Lengua, or beef tongue tacos. Now, I know some of you might be a little hesitant to try this dish, but trust me when I say that these are some of the best tacos you will ever eat.
    I'll show you how to make these delicious tacos step by step, and I promise you won't regret it. The meat is super tender and has a beefy flavor that pairs perfectly with a homemade green salsa. You might want to double up on your tortillas to give your taco some extra support - these tacos are hearty and filling.
    Add some sliced radishes and extra lime to really make your tacos pop. Trust me, one taco will not be enough - you'll want to keep eating these all night long.
    Grab a beer and lets make some tacos together. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more delicious recipes.

    Hey SJ, how would you attempt sous vide the Lengua? I am kind of puzzled how much I should cook for just myself. Can I re-freeze the Lengua once cooked through? I'd try other recipes, like Ragu with it too. I hope this reaches you soon, thanks for the awesome Video!

    • @SJCOOKS
      @SJCOOKS  5 місяців тому +1

      you can definitely vacuum seal and freeze leftovers. that's actually a pretty good idea! I've never sous vide lengua before but now I want to try it! I'd probably par boil it to get rid of the impurities and then peel the tongue. cut into slices. season and then sous vide. I'll have to try myself and if I get good results I should make a video on it!

    • @SJCOOKS
      @SJCOOKS  5 місяців тому +1

      my mother in law cooks the tongue and then finishes it some spaghetti sauce, served over rice. I thought it was weird at first but I do enjoy it that way.

    • @DJArnoandBob
      @DJArnoandBob 5 місяців тому

    Oh man, this looks amazing. I'm a white chick but lengua tacos have always been my favorite above all others. The first time I tried them I was wanting to experience something new so I got some street tacos from a Mexican ran taco truck. I grew up in Utah and most of my neighbors were central to south American or Spanish, so I got exposed to some of the BEST Latino food EVER, from carne asada burritos, to enchiladas, to menudo (Though I'm still not a fan of tripe, I just really don't like the texture). But now I'm tossed on whether to go buy the tongue to make these OR get the pork shoulder/butt to make Chinese BBQ pork buns. With the price of groceries right now, it will be a choice of one or the other. So... yeah. Unless...hmm, can the lengua meat here be used in making Tamales? What other recipes can the lengua be used in when prepared like this? I'd like to see you maybe do a budget video where you use left overs of past meat you've made and incorporated them into different dishes.

    • @SJCOOKS
      @SJCOOKS  23 дні тому

      Pork shoulder is def cheaper and you get a lot more meals/meat out of it. It’s also very versatile in what you can do with leftovers. I do have a video on here on what to do with leftovers. I usually don’t cook a lot of lengua because of the price, if there are leftovers, we usually end up doing tacos again or a burrito. The only other way I know of to cook lengua is in a tomatoe based sauced. My mother in law introduced me to that. I might make a video on this soon. Thank you very much for the comment and feedback!
