Clean the beef tongue under cold water and remove any excess fat.

Place the tongue in a large pot and cover with water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours until tender.

Remove the tongue from the pot and let it cool slightly before peeling off the skin.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in diced bell peppers and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes, stirring to combine.

Season with cumin, oregano, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper.

Slice the cooked tongue and add it to the skillet, mixing well with the vegetables.

Pour in enough broth from the tongue pot to cover the mixture.

Simmer for 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld.

Finish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.
