tacos-de-cabeza:-mexican-beef-cheek-tacos
Cabeza is meat from the head of a cow and is typically served braised or steamed to enhance its tenderness (cabeza can be quite supple and rich, thanks to the high-fat content in the head). Cabeza shows up in taquerias across many regions in Mexico, alongside other common taco fillings like carnitas, chorizo, barbacoa, al pastor, and carne asada
Ingredients
