Hi I have a HP Tango and I was wondering if there is a way to print business cards 3.5x2 inches.

Maybe, though you must check that your "business card" paper is not too heavy for the printer.

Possibly this paper might work...

Avery® Business Cards, 2" x 3-1/2", Sure Feed™, Inkjet, 100 Cards (28371) 

216 gsm

The Tango printers do not support actual "card stock".

The printer should handle "HP Card Paper" which is typically 200 gsm / 110lb INDEX paper

Index paper is not heavy "card stock".

The Tango series does support the following paper types:

Media types

Plain Paper, HP Photo Papers, HP Matte Brochure or Professional Paper, HP Matte Presentation Paper, HP Glossy Brochure or Professional Paper, Other Photo Inkjet Papers, Other Matte Inkjet Papers, Other Glossy Inkjet Papers, Inkjet Hagaki, Plain Paper, Thick, Plain Paper, Light/Recycled

and

Media weight supported (U.S. standard)

16 to 32 lb (plain paper); 20 to 55 lb (envelope); up to 110 lb (cards)

If your card paper sheets are close to the maximum weight for Index paper - and the printer is in very good condition (newer and very clean as opposed to older and "well used"), then you might be able to print 216-gsm-weight business cards.

You can, of course, try even heavier stock - when printing, do still select media paper type Brochure paper.

Heavier paper might work or might fail and stick in the printer (paper jam).

An example -
