I was expecting to make the tongue into sandwiches but today I got a better idea while I was mixing up a batch of guacamole. I would make soft tacos! I heated corn tortillas in my griddle pan, sprinkled them with a mixture of grated cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses and topped them with the sliced tongue that I had quickly reheated by tossing around in an oiled pan. Some finely chopped lettuce and salsa to finish it all off and ta da! Tongue tacos!
The heating of the tongue in an oiled pan made a huge flavor and texture difference; because the slices were so thin, the edges quickly seared which gave the overall dish a nice grilled taste and the meat more of a "chew". Judging by how quickly the guys ate 'em up, I would say it is a hit with the humans as well as the canines. Yes, Rusty and Farley got a few nuggets as well...no guacamole for them though.
