Discada

A pan of food with tortilla chips on the side.

Howdy everyone, and thank you for stopping by the website. Today's recipe is a special treat, because it's a dish used to cook up a whole bunch of food at a gathering or family reunion. Discada is the name for it, because traditionally, it was made using a tandem disc, or plowing disc. It is basically a huge wok.

Tip: If you're looking for one online, search for a cowboy wok, a discada disc, or a plow cooking disc.

What is in Discada?

Well, whatever you want. This can be breakfast, lunch, birthday feast - whatever you need to cook for, you can do it in one of these discs. For the best flavor, I recommend you start by cooking a pound or two of bacon. When the bacon is about three-quarters finished, add the onion. The outer edge of the disc won't be as hot as the part directly on the fire, so you can just move the bacon and onions up to the side when done. This will keep the bacon warm, but it won't burn.

There should be a good pool of bacon grease in the center of the disc. Go ahead and add your potatoes and some Kent Rollins' Mesquite Seasoning. Cook until the taters are about golden brown, and move off to the side of the disc.

Layers of Flavor

Already, we have bacon, onion, potatoes, and mesquite seasoning. Once the potatoes are pushed off to the side, add the pork chorizo. Just like the bacon, the chorizo will leave behind some delicious grease and even some seasonings that we are going to cook the other meats in. It's just layers upon layers of delicious food and delicious flavors.

The center of the disc has bacon grease, seasoning, chorizo fat, and is so full of flavor, we're going to cover the pork in mesquite seasoning and throw right in the center. When cooked, move it off to the side. Next up is some pork breakfast sausage and 80/20 Certified Angus Beef hamburger meat.

Last but not least - add the peppers. Anaheim, Poblano, and Jalapenos. Remove the seeds if you don't want much heat, keep the seeds in if you do. Last, add in the tomatoes and the garlic. As soon as they're done, mix all of the food up in the center.

Place flour and corn tortillas around the edge of the disc to warm up, and serve.
