Slow Cooker Lengua (Beef Tongue) Recipe

Simple and full of flavor. This was my first time attempting tongue and it came out wonderful. I too made tacos topped with onion, cilantro, and tomatillo sauce. So tender!

Excellent!!! It reminds me of the morning tacos de Barbacoa I used to eat during my weekends in Monterrey, Mexico. I cooked it on Hi for 1HR and the on Low for 6 hours. There was NO need to add the butter. It was amazing!! It freezes very well too in ziplock bags. Good Luck!!

My confession it's for homemade pupper food. It was an almost 3 lb. Tongue, I used pup friendly herbs. No onions, garlic, salt or pepper. Added it to 3 c cooked white rice, 3 c cooled Pearled Barley, 1 lb each cooked black eyed peas, carrots, green beans and spinach. They love it.

This was delicious!!! and so easy to make I made Birria Tacos cut up some onions and cilantro and made a Salsa and we were good to go. 1 lengua fed 4 adults and 2 children will make it again very soon.

I love how soft the meat comes out in the slow cooker. I just shred the meat and put in in my tacos. Next day I do warm it up with a bit of butter or oil. So good😋

I was very nervous about this, but pushed myself to try it. It was surprisingly good, well seasoned. I used olive oil instead of butter because I'm following the autoimmune paleo protocol. Other than that I followed the instructions.

I made this tonight. First time cooking a tongue. Served as a taco with green chile salsa, cilantro and tomatoes. I did add some red chill flakes, cumin and cayenne to the meat while I browned it. A definite make again.

after the slow cooker, i let it cool/drain. Then remove skin. Chop into pieces and saute in pan with package of taco seasoning (99 cents at market)

Added some pepper curnels to give a firey zest

So simple, yet amazing.

Even my picky friends loved it.

My first taste of beef tongue and I will be making it often! Love it!

It's delicious. I make burritos with it.

First time making it Fantastic

This was my first time making tounge. I kept it simple and followed the recipe as is.. Came out tender and beautiful.

I happened upon this recipe after receiving a tongue in my meat package from my local farmer. It was the last thing used in my package I was a bit apprehensive about using it. Boy, did I regret not making it sooner! I have made this recipe almost 10 times. Amazing as written! My 7 year old daughter loves it. It's so easy, my daughter normally puts everything in the slow cooker for me and starts it. I have used the meat with tacos, Chipotle-style bowls, and BBQ sandwiches.

So good and easy and no one knows what it is if you don't tell them! lol

Good recipe; my first attempt at lengua. I’d like to note that, after cooking and cooling, it’s important to remove ALL of the out later. I’m followed the directions precisely, and there seemed to actually be two layers of skin to remove from the top of the tongue. The smell of those layers was a bit off-putting, but after the meat was shredded and browning in the pan with butter , everything seemed all right. If I use this again, I’ll definitely double the recipe. One tongue barely fed one adult and two kids.
