The tongue tacos are delicious, filling and giving. If you are not convinced yet, you should know that consuming them has many benefits to your health such as:
A 3-ounce serving of beef tongue (approximately 85 grams) contains only 240 calories and from which 16 grams of protein can also be broken down, which are vital for muscle development and 19 grams of fat, which represent a mixture of unsaturated and saturated, which implies that it should not be included occasionally.
On the other hand, eating a cow tongue will help you obtain several minerals, among which zinc, which is essential for the growth of cells and for the immune function of the body. A portion of 85 grams will give you 3.5 milligrams, which will cover 32 to 44% of the amount of zinc we require.
Another benefit of beef tongue tacos are the B vitamins, which facilitate metabolism because they break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy for tissues.
Beef tongue is rich in vitamin B12, which promotes the proper functioning of nerves, brain and keeps blood cells healthy. You will also find minimal amounts of vitamins B2, B3 and B6.
