Steps
- 1
Make sure all your ingredients are ready before you start cooking. Place a large pot on the stove, add water, and set a rack inside for steaming.
- 2
Place the chopped beef head and sliced tongue on the rack. Cover with a plastic bag, making sure the bag stays inside the pot to prevent burning.
- 3
Cover the pot with a lid and steam for 30 minutes. Cut the limes and set aside. Take the cilantro, remove the roots, finely chop it, and place in a bowl.
- 4
Take the onion, remove the stem, root, and first layer, cut in half, and finely chop. Set aside in a bowl. Check the meat, then carefully remove the lid and plastic bag to avoid steam burns. Take a warm tortilla, add a slice of tongue to one, and a good portion of beef head to another.
- 5
Top with onion, cilantro, your favorite salsa, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Enjoy with a refreshing glass of tepache!
