Flavorful. Moist. Hearty. Scrumptious. Slow cooked to melt-in-your-mouth perfection and topped on Focaccia. Grap the italian tongue recipe over at Spain in Iowa and try it!
This egg bake is filling & delicious. Great to serve at a brunch. If you don’t have kale, you can use any kind of greens in its place.
Another yummy Latin American meal. Great to make ahead and freeze! You can pop them in the toaster oven when you need something quick. Great with salads ;o)
Follow the the taco recipe above, but add 1/2 cup raisins and remove cilantro (if desired).
Make a dough using Masa Harina and form into small circles (much like making homemade corn tortillas).
On one side, add the beef tongue mixture and fold the dough over to shape like a half moon. Press and seal the edges.
You can cook them up in one of two ways… 1) fry them up in olive oil, lard or beef tallow until golden brown 2) lay them out on a baking sheet, brush your choice of oil on top and bake until golden brown.
You can freeze the empanadas before or after cooking them.
Do you have a good tongue recipe? Please share below!
Those empanadas look AMAZING Mare! I think I need to head to Guadelupe in the morning in search of beef tounge. As well as chicken feet, beef bones and lard as well.
Thanks Katie! Is Guadalupe the same or has it changed much? Enjoy the empanadas!
Katie, it is a pleasure to discover additional recipes for this most excellent cut of meat. We grew up with it — parents cooked it for us and we loved it.
Hello! Thank you for commenting. Yes, tongue is an excellent cut of meat 😉

My favorite is lengua en salsa verde. Take a couple of potatoes and par-boil them until about 1/2 cooked. Slice crosswise (the short ‘chip’ direction) into about 1/8″ slices and fry until golden brown. In a skillet slice one medium white onion into 1/8″ slices and cook, with a little olive oil, until translucent. Add one lengua, shredded or sliced, enough salsa verde to be saucy (3 – 4 cups) but still meaty, and the potato to the skillet. Cook until everything is heated through. Serve with rice, beans and tortillas.
Sounds FANTASTIC Brett!! Thank you for sharing. Will have to put that on the menu soon!
I’m looking for chile recipe using beef tongue. Can anyone help? Would like to include beans.
Simply add the beef tongue like you would add ground beef. Use your favorite chile recipe and use tongue instead of ground beef or stewed beef 🙂
