Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef fajita skirt or flank, sliced thin
  • 1 lb pork shoulder or country-style ribs diced
  • 1 lb Mexican chorizo fresh
  • 1 lb bacon chopped
  • 1 lb hot dogs or smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 1 large bell pepper sliced
  • 4-5 Roma tomatoes diced
  • 4-5 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 jalapeños or serranos sliced (optional)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or about 2-3 tbsp
  • 12 oz Mexican lager beer optional
  • Corn or flour tortillas for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your Loco Cookers disco to medium heat around 300°F. Give it 10-15 minutes to heat evenly across the surface.
  2. Add chopped bacon to center of disco. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy. Remove bacon with slotted spoon and set aside. Leave rendered fat in disco.
  3. Add fresh chorizo to bacon fat. Break apart and cook 8-10 minutes until completely cooked through and starting to crisp. Remove chorizo and set aside with bacon.
  4. Add diced pork to disco, season with 1 tbsp taco seasoning. Brown well, about 10 minutes total, stirring occasionally. Remove and set aside.
  5. Add sliced beef fajita meat, season with 1 tbsp taco seasoning. Sear quickly, about 4-5 minutes total, leaving center slightly pink. Remove and set aside.
  6. Add sliced hot dogs or sausage. Cook about 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  7. Add onions, bell peppers, garlic, and jalapeños to disco. Sauté 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and vegetables are softened.
  8. Stir in diced tomatoes and cook 5-7 minutes until broken down. Sprinkle remaining taco seasoning over vegetables and mix well.
  9. Return all cooked meats (bacon, chorizo, pork, beef, sausage) to disco. Mix thoroughly with vegetables. Heat through 3-4 minutes.
  10. Optional: Pour beer over mixture, stir well, and simmer 10-15 minutes until most liquid evaporates and flavors meld.
  11. Warm tortillas on edge of disco. Serve discada hot with warm tortillas, lime wedges, cilantro, and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Keep disco at steady 300°F for best results
Cook meats separately to prevent steaming
Don't skip the beer - it adds great flavor as it reduces
Leftovers keep 3-4 days refrigerated
