1 Fill a large (12-quarter if you have one) pot two-thirds with water. Add tongue, onion, cloves crushed garlic, bay leaves, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 3 hours until the tongue is soft and tender to the touch

With your fingers, and / or a small sharp knife, remove the lid and discard. Notice of the difficult period of flesh where his tongue was deep in the mouth. Arturo remove this patch (like her mother when she prepares the language), because it is a little rough. It is quite edible, while for the attached if you wish.
3 Cut into slices 1/4-inch tongue. (If you prepare the whole tongue tacos, you can return what language you do not slice the cooking water to soak.) Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium high heat and fry the slices on both sides until 'that lightly browned. Remove from pan and cut into strips, then cross again, if you end up with small squares.

. One 3-pound tongue makes enough meat for about 18-24 tacos.
