barbacoa beef tongue

Soooo this is how we make our barbacoa (well the hubs he’s the one that cleans it and does all the shredding 😬)

We used:

3lb beef tongue
1/2 large yellow onion cut into thin slices
1/2 large yellow onion cut in 1/2
1 tbs salt
1/2 tbs pepper
8-10 bay leaves
2-3 cups of water
Crockpot

After taking it out of the bag he rinses it really well, then he places the slices of onion at the bottom of the crockpot. Then places the tongue over the onion, he then adds water up until the tongue is half way covered. He then adds the salt/pepper, covers the tongue with bay leaves and whatever is left over he places around then he places the 1/2’s of onion on top. We didn’t add cloves of garlic but you can if you’d like and I’d go with 2.
