Tacos de Lengua

• 1-lb (or so) beef tongue
  
• 5 small cloves garlic (or 3 large ones), smashed & chopped
  
• 1 onion, quartered
  
• salt & pepper to
  

Rinse tongue, pat dry, season well with salt and pepper.

Allow it to sit about 15 minutes for the seasonings to penetrate a little.

Put it in crockpot and add water (or half water/half beer) to cover.

Add garlic and onions to water. Cook on "high" for 4-5 hours.

Turn crockpot setting down to Low. Turn tongue over and add more water if necessary. Continue cooking on low until tongue is done (skin hard, inside soft).

Remove tongue and skin it (discard skin). Chop meat finely.

Serve immediately with "fixin's" - like corn tortillas, lime wedges, pico de gallo, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, onions, jalapenos, salsa...etc.
