- In the Rio Grande Valley, barbacoa de cabeza is traditionally eaten on Sunday mornings.
- Clean the cabeza, removing eyes, ears, etc. Throw away the tongue. Leaving it will impart an odd taste to the meat. Wrap the cabeza in a paper sack, along with onions, garlic, and cilantro. Wrap Which in burlap.

- Serves one vanload.
