tripas

Offal taco filling

Tripas is a Mexican dish of braised or grilled beef intestines, often served in tacos: We ordered tripas and lengua from the taco truck.

The word is Spanish for "guts" or "intestines." In broader Spanish usage, tripas can refer to entrails generally or, figuratively, to one's belly or innards.
