## Homemade Beef Tongue Sandwich Recipe

### Ingredients

- 1 beef tongue
- 2 cups of green beans
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 marraqueta rolls
- 1 ripe tomato
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Oregano
- Parsley
- Oil

4. Cut the marraqueta rolls in half and heat them in a toaster. Arrange the beef tongue slices on the bread and top them with tomatoes, green beans, and bell peppers. Add mayonnaise to taste, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with a few drops of oil, and cover the sandwich with the other half of the marraqueta roll.
5. Serve the beef tongue sandwich immediately, either alone or with a hot beverage like tea or coffee.
