Method
Restated from the original video
- 1
Season the pork and beef with the salt and pepper.
- 2
Set a very large skillet, wok or plow disc over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and brown, 6-8 min.
- 3
Add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 5-6 min. Move the bacon and pork to a bowl, leaving the fat behind.
- 4
Cook the beef in the same fat. It first gives off juices, so wait until they evaporate and the cubes brown, 5-6 min. Move to the bowl.
- 5
Brown the frankfurters for 3-4 min and add them to the bowl.
- 6
Add the chorizo and break it into small crumbles as it hits the pan. Cook until no pink remains and it is cooked through, 6-8 min. Move to the bowl.
- 7
In the fat left behind, soften the onion for 3 min. Add the peppers and garlic and cook for 2 min.
- 8
Stir in the serranos and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes soften, 3-4 min.
- 9
Return all the meat to the pan and pour in the beer. Add half of the cilantro.
- 10
Cook, stirring, until the beer has evaporated and the sauce clings to the meat, 5-8 min. Taste and add salt if needed.
- 11
Scatter the remaining cilantro over the top.
- 12
Spoon the discada onto warm tortillas, top with salsa and squeeze lime over each.
