Lengua Tacos, Tongue Pastrami-- if you've had tongue before, you'll know why people love it so much. It's not for the faint of heart, but it rewards you with unparalleled flavor and a buttery richness all its own. Remember: the tongue is a muscle (not an organ) and a hard-working one at that for cows (ruminants that spend their entire lives munching on grass). That means it develops incredible flavor but must also be slow cooked to ensure tenderness (just like any other braising cut, from Chuck Roasts to Volcano Shanks).
