Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 4½ lb beef heart
Trim all the waxy exterior fat off the heart.
Trimming the fat and separating the chambers
Separate the chambers (two ventricles and two atria) into flat, steak-like pieces, and trim the interior membranes, connective tissue and blood vessels from both sides.
  • salt
  • pepper
Season with salt and pepper only.
Sear hard on a very hot grill, about 550, then move to the cool side to finish to about medium rare, about four minutes each side; thicker pieces take longer and thin ones less. Rest long.
  • corn tortillas
Toast corn tortillas on top of the coals.
  • chipotle and adobo in a can
  • sour cream
Chop canned chipotle in adobo and mix into sour cream to the heat level you like.
  • onions
  • cilantro
  • lime juice
Spread chipotle sour cream on a tortilla, add chopped heart, onions and cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the top.
