Run cold water through the beef tripe and squeeze until the water is clear.

Place the tripe in the disco and cook at medium-low heat for about 1 hour.

After 38 minutes, add bay leaves, garlic, peppercorns, salt, and granulated garlic to the tripe without adding water.

Cook for a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes until the tripe is tender, checking doneness with a toothpick.

Once tender, increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the tripe in its own fat, stirring every couple of minutes to prevent sticking and burning.

Cook until the tripe is golden brown and crispy, which takes about 3 hours in total.

Remove the crispy tripe and let it drain.

Plate the tacos with the crispy tripe, fresh cilantro, diced onion, and a squeeze of lime juice, and serve with store-bought salsa.
