Thanks for asking. The shorter boiling time works great for tacos, as it puts the meat somewhere between tender and chewy. That chewiness works well in the corn tortillas and small bites of tacos, but I'm not sure if it's what you want in your chili. My method of sautéing it in my chili sauce creates an awesome flavor, and would be great in a chili dish. I guess it's your call on the texture. My method is not really tough, just leaves a chew. Boiling it for an hour+ will cook it fully and will help to tenderize it. However you choose to cook your tongue, enjoy! Tongue is delicious!! Let me know what you end up doing and how it turns out. Tongue chili sounds mighty tasty. H John. Thanks for asking. The shorter boiling time works great for tacos, as it puts the meat somewhere between tender and chewy.

Most other sites say about an hour per pound. I'd like to try your method (it's quicker and I'm impatient!) but I also like the meat tender and not chewy. So, is it tender? I mean, it can't be fully cooked at only 20 minutes, right? I'm planning on making chili with it, can't wait to taste it after all the positive comments on your site and others. Thanks.
