I braised them with bay leaf, garlic, onion and peppercorns until tender. Then I peeled them. This was definitely on my top ten list of weird things I've done in the kitchen that I don't want to do again. Then chop, mix with chile sauce, and make a taco.
My favorite? No. But I'm glad I tried it.

I'm glad you did it so I don't have to.
I read an account recently of someone who cooked a whole cow head for tacos. Or maybe it was a video. Anyhoo, it was pretty gnarly.
ooh,just add soy sauce and vinegar to the rest of your ingredients and you've got lamb tongue adobo!
@kitt - tacos de cabeza are from the cow's head. and they're good too! :) kinda fatty.
Oh yeah. It was a video: http://foodtease.com/2009/09/cow-head-barbacoa/. (Warning, the first photo you see on that page is a skinned cow's head, so if you're squeamish, don't click.)
CC - I love adobo! Need to make it more often.
Hi Kitt! I plan on doing a lamb head soon. Looking forward to it and squeamish at the same time :)
Wow, I have beef lengua tacos all the time but never had lamb tongue. Does it taste a bit gamey like the meat?
Hey Dennis - It's like beef tongue in texture, but the flavor is definitely gamey/lamby. Not for everyone.
Hi Vicki - How can someone not like lamb tongue??? ;o)
Hey Kirk - I think my dislike was more from the sauce I used than from the tongue itself. Perhaps I'll try again.
