  • How To Cook:
    TO PREPARE THE TACOS:
    1. Choose any of these meat fillings and place some in the center of a warm wheat tortilla.

    2. Saute the meat until all is hot.

    BEEF TACO FLLLING:
    1. Prepare a beef pot roast as in Cuban Ropa Vieja, adding to the recipe ½ teaspoon ground cumin and 1 teaspoon chili powder.

    2. Cook the meat, covered, then debone and shred it. Return it to the sauce and keep warm.

    PORK TACO FLLLING:
    1. Prepare a boneless pork roast as above. Shred the meat and keep it warm in the sauce.

    CHICKEN TACO FLLLING:
    1. Prepare a cut-up chicken as in the above recipes. Debone, shred, and keep the meat warm in the sauce.

    TONGUE TACO FLLLING:
    1. This one is a bit unusual but well worth the effort. Simmer a whole beef tongue, covered with water, along with 2 ribs of celery and a couple of chopped carrots.

    2. Add a chopped yellow onion and 2 bay leaves. Add 2 teaspoons salt and 8 whole peppercorns.

    3. Cook, at a low simmer, for 3 hours. Allow the meat to cool in the liquid. Peel the tongue and cut into ¼-inch dice.
