Not everyone comes running when you say you're fixing beef tongue, but this is a great recipe and one that I've been using since the late '70s. I found it originally printed in Sunset Mexican Cook Book, 1977. Today, you can find Chipotle chili powder already prepared in the spice section of most supermarkets. This is an easy substitute for the crushed red peppers and liquid smoke.
