Many people are intimidated by beef tongue and I was too at first. I thought you had to handle the tongue and cut off the tough outer layer. What I found out was that if you just put it in the crock pot overnight, the outer layer peels right off revealing the yummy BBQ like meat inside! Beef tongue has lots of natural fat burning conjugated linoleic acid and youth promoting zinc. Don’t let appearances stop you from trying this nutrient dense economy cut.
Easy Paleo Beef Tongue Barbacoa Tacos
Ingredients:
1 beef tongue (order here)
2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp Real Salt
Pepper to taste
2 cups chopped tomatoes (or 2 Tbsp organic paste)
2 cups water
1 head romaine
1 avocado sliced
2-3 drops Arizona Peppers Organic Harvest Hot Sauce
Directions:
Put all the ingredients into the Crock-Pot Slow Cooker overnight. In the morning or after 6 hours on low pull out the beef tongue and place it on a plate. Take two forks and pull off the tough outer layer of the tongue. Discard the skin and chop the tongue into bite sized shreds. Add the beef back to the crock pot and stir so it absorbs the sauce. Add the beef to a romaine leaf and top with avocado slices. You can add hot sauce or salsa to this Easy Paleo Beef Tongue Barbacoa Tacos, if desired. Serves 2-3
