OMG, this post just reminded me when I was in university in Mexico. The discada with a homemade salsa verde and corn tortillas and of course some cold (ice cold) coronas...
The typical northern Mexico (Torreon) discada takes chopped pork, chopped beef, ham, bacon, beef hot dogs, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, black pepper, chorizo, salt, and corn tortillas. The salsa verde takes tomatillo, onion, garlic, salt, jalapenos.
The discada has to be placed in the dish (disco) in the following order:
A little vegetable oil
(Chopped) ham, hot dogs, bacon
Onions, jalapenos
pork and beef
Tomatoes and chorizo at the end so that the tomatoes let some of the juice out and the chorizo leaves the flavor without burning. Mix the contents of the dish.
Put the tortillas on top of the discada...
The salsa verde
Cook the 6 jalapenos in a pan with oil (remove seeds if you dont like hot salsas)
On a separate pan cook in water the 3 tomatoes, 2 tomatillos and 1 onion with a pinch of salt and a chopped garlic slice
Remove the jalapenos from the oil and place them directly in thr blender (with a little cooking oil from the pan),
Put the cooked onion, tomatoes, garlic, a little chopped cilantro, a pinch of salt, a cup of water from the boiling water where you cooked the veggies.
Blend the salsa. The little oil will give it some thickness and creamy side to it.
Take a tortilla, put some discada in it, a little salsa and enjoy...
