Place the tongue, half of the chopped onion, garlic, salt, and jalapeño in a large pot.
Add enough water to cover the tongue by several centimeters and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 3 to 4 hours.
Remove the tongue from the water and let it cool.
Save the liquid. Once the tongue has cooled, remove the skin and shred with two forks.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
Add the whole tomatoes along with 2 jalapeño peppers.
Let it boil until the vegetables soften.
Transfer the tomatoes and peppers to the blender and blend until smooth.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes.
Once the onion is sautéed, add the shredded tongue and the tomato sauce.
Simmer, stirring constantly. Pour 2 cups of the liquid in which the tongue was cooked and cook until the liquid evaporates, leaving juicy and flavorful meat, about 20 minutes.
Add at the end, along with the tongue in tomato sauce, the steamed vegetables as a side dish, or even on top.
