Barbacoa!

WARNING...if you have a weak stomach, you may want to look away!

Ok...I have to tell you about an amazing dish! It is a Mexican dish called Barbacoa which is basically shredded beef! I first tried it a few months ago and my friend Carla's house...the make it for breakfast and I was able to be there and try it! Her dad starts it the night before and it cooks all night long. Carla didn't want me to see how he made it so I stayed out of the kitchen.
Once it was ready, I learned how to assemble it. You take a flour or corn tortilla and put the shredded beef on the tortilla, top it with chopped onions, cilantro and salsa...roll it and eat it! It was so amazing! It was some of the most tender beef I had ever eaten and tasted like a roast my grandma would make!
When I was done eating, which I had about 6 or 7 of them, they told me what it was! Turns out I was eating cow tongue! Yes...cow tongue! And it was delicious!
It was time for her dad to make it again and this time I wanted to see it! I saw them in the "raw" form and then again once it was cooked but still whole. Then you take the "skin" off of it and shred it up...really yummy! I got a few pictures of her dad with it cause I thought you all would enjoy it! LOL
