Tacos de cabeza

Description

Tacos de cabeza is a popular variety of tacos, especially in Mexico City, Sonora, and the Bajío. It consists of tacos filled with steamed and shredded meat of cow's head, combined with toppings such as red or green salsa, chopped onions, and coriander. Customers can choose which type of meat they want, and usually the choice comes down to either brains, ear meat, or tongue. The dish can be found at taco stands with large metal steamers in which the meat was cooked, often in humble neighborhoods, since cow's head meat is very inexpensive.
