DISCADA: How to Make a Discada Mexicana (Norteña / South Texas Style)

A discada is a great way to put on one heck of a show for your friends and make some great food outdoors.
Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:

Think of the disco as the original outdoor fryer and griddle ALL in one. This is a very popular way to cook in Northern Mexico and South Texas and they usually have all the ingredients you will see me use today, and in addition sometimes use chorizo and weenies. I personally like smoked sausage in mine since this is my own personal South Texas style, but again, run what you brung and use what you love. Here are my ingredients:
4 Slice Thick Cut Bacon
1 lb Pork (Country Style Pork Ribs)
1 lb Fajitas (Skirt Steak)
1 Smoked Sausage Link
1/2 Ham Steak
1/2 White Onion
1 Scallion
1 Serrano Pepper
1 Jalapeño Pepper
1/2 of Red Bell Pepper
1/2 of Yellow Bell Pepper
1/2 of Green Bell Pepper
1 Roma Tomato
Fresh Cilantro
Lime Juice

I swear you got a gift for show this. The way you explain things and segment your presentation. Outlining your video flow, and even doing a segment on family history. Great vid

I’m from south Texas but have lived in Japan the last 4 years… We move back to Texas in a week and man oh Man I can’t wait!! Been gone too long 😭

[@bencirilo4438]

I’m seeing this comment a year later I hope you made it back safely and are enjoying Texas more than ever!!

[@inshanity84]

Brings back good memories of living in Monterrey...my mouth is watering

[@garryblack764]

Makes my day when I see you doing the dance. Don’t ever change.

[@wills3744]

Being from El Paso, we ate discada meals all the time. This is a twist I have not seen. I have a Discada and plan to try this recipe! Thank you!

[@ramencurry6672]

I grew up in Philadelphia. We never had any Mexican food back in the old days in the northern states. It’s changed now though

[@charlesncharge6298]

We do it little different in chuco town, but it's just as good. He was missing the chorizo and weenies.

[@LevSavitskiy]

Even if you don't like the recipe for some crazy reason, you should still appreciate the love and passion that he cooks with! I enjoyed watching it and now want one of those discada discs myself!

[@tendencytostartfires]

I need one of these. I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious. I just used a regular wok and had to do it in stages, though, by cooking everything separately and then bringing it together in the end. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

[@oldschoolisnewschool]

Just got mine right now.

[@Oooyessbro]

Guys please don't use a wok for Discada. There are special pans for that lol idk why he used a wok

[@tendencytostartfires]

@@Oooyessbro I used a wok, because that's the biggest pan I had available to me. I wasn't going to buy a special discada just to try a recipe.

[@mraduanemc]

Hey Arnie, your channel has been a treasure trove. For years I've told my wife I could eat some version of Mexican food everyday. Thanks to you, she's currently finding out I wasn't lying. Got me thinking about a new barbeque too. So good man!

[@kentishtowncomputer]

This is like exactly the same what we make in Turkiye. We call it Sac Kavurma. Very old nomadic Dish.

[@TheOriginalArchie]

Bro this is my new favorite food channel. I moved to NY from San Diego about eight years ago and there is nothing authentic where I live, so the last two years I've just been taking matters into my own hands and trying to perfect the tastes that they don't have here. This channel is right up my alley!

Love taking my disco camping, and it's so old and well seasoned like my cast iron pans. Breakfast and dinner are always cooked on it.

Howzit Arnie, hey I really appreciate your recipes brother, we don't get really good Mexican style foods here in Hawaii, so your stuff is like magic to my taste buds and my family enjoys it so much. BTW, that photo of your father you put up, you look just like him, good looking folks!!!

[@CoolJay77]

Just awesome, packed with all the flavors I love,

[@garywells3763]

I have a discada and it's great for preparing a good mix of foods for a large crowd. The two changes I can recommend to Arnie's project in this episode, which are to my personal taste, are (1) leave out the chorizo; I use only beef chorizo at times, mostly for breakfast, but even so, it overpowers the taste of the other meats. Chorizo is best for mixing with scrambled eggs at breakfast. Also, (2) cut up your pork and beef the night before, season with WOW, squeeze lime juice over them and store in separate gallon ziploc bags. Other than that, there's hardly any way to mess up discada cooking.

[@ToddAndelin]

The Discada is a game changer!

[@beberle9641]

Great job it looks amazing man. I need to watch more of your videos I like your style. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Was all prepared to call you out on the “ discada” but you acknowledge what it was and used a “ reasonable facsimile “👍👍👏👏 I have watched a lot of your videos and should have known better.

[@flashwashington2735]

Really good. Easy to see that you love your work.

[@SATORI0320]

My coworkers used to do this but with just a large hunk of beef cut like fajitas, and with a full 3lbs tomato, 4 whole onions, and 1.5 lbs of jalapeños. The meat was seared well, then set aside, and then add all of the slices of veggies. Cook until the veg is almost done then add back the beef and cook until it's almost a Con Carne like gravy and meat. Absolutely stellar

[@janelee3982]

If your father taught you and his father taught him and know you know exactly what you doing and I know it's banging I'm definitely going to try to make this thank you for sharing
