Sounds like it would burn.

Wash it real good...sprinkle liberally with salt, pepper, minced garlic, light dust of cumin powder. Add a little water to the pot.

Cook for 3 hours or so. Turn off heat, let it hang out for 30 minutes or so. Then peel the rough part of the tongue off, slice. Do whatever the hell you want with it, tacos, sandwiches...either a torta or on rye with a little deli mustard.

My wife loves good barbacoa and has seen it done by her mother but it sounds like she was young and it was a traumatic experience because I didn't get details or the impression that she ever planned to try it herself

Let us know how it turns out

done this several times..provided you get one that is cleaned and stuffed already...just put it in the slow cooker with just a little water and any veggies that you like and let it cook away..I would put it on high because some of those sucker are tougher than others and take a few hours to cook.but you almost can't mess it up.
Just check after about 3-4 hours to see if it getting tender..

FWIW Sarita's Buffet has been serving tongue, though I'm not sure if they are only doing it on the weekends.

Tacos de lengua are pretty good in general.

Yesterday I got my barbacoa fix.
