Ingredients

• 1 lb Flank steak
• 1 lb Pork shoulder
• 1/2 lb Mexican chorizo
• 1/2 lb Bacon
• 4 Hot dogs
• 2 Bell peppers
• 1 White onion
• 2 Tomatoes
• 1 cup Beer
• 12 Flour tortillas

Steps

1. Heat the discada or a huge skillet ripping hot. Fry the bacon first, rendering its fat for everything that follows.
2. Add the pork, then the beef, browning each in batches — the discada method builds flavor in layers.
3. Add the chorizo, hot dogs, peppers, and onion. Cook 10 minutes, stirring, until everything is browned and sizzling.
4. Pour in the beer and scrape up the browned bits. Add the tomatoes and simmer 10 minutes into a juicy, smoky mix.
5. Taste and season — the meats bring their own salt, so go easy.
6. Serve straight from the disc with warm flour tortillas. Northern ranch cooking, no apologies.
