Many of you have probably enjoyed tacos de lengua or tongue tacos. However, few of you have ever tried arepas de lengua. In this video I show you the steps I took to create arepas de lenga. Beside the obvious difference of using arepas instead of tortillas, the arepas de lengua are also cooked in tomato sauce instead of having salsa verde added to it. A two step process is used to cook the tongues. First the tongues are boiled and then they are barbequed. The latter step added TREMENDOUS flavor to the tongues as you can physically see with the smoke rings. In this case I used cherry wood for its sweet flavor.After the tongues were smoked and sliced they were added to the homemade tomato sauce and allowed to stew in it for about 40 minutes. The final step was simply adding the tomato sauce soaked tongue slices to the arepa pockets for serving.p.s. Less than half of the charcoal snake was burned so I was able to keep the unburned charcoals for future use. A big advantage of using the snake method in BBQing since it allows you to use only the exact amount of fuel you need to smoke your meats.
