Instructions
  1. 1

    Crisp the bacon

    Dice the bacon. Heat the oil in a large skillet or comal over medium-high heat, add the bacon, and cook until crispy. Scoop it out onto a plate and leave the fat behind — that fat is doing the Lord's work here.

  1. 2

    Brown the chorizo

    Crumble the chorizo into the same skillet and cook 5 to 6 minutes until deeply browned. Add it to the plate with the bacon.

  2. 3

    Sear the pork

    Cut the pork shoulder into small cubes. Cook in the skillet about 7 minutes. It won't look fully done yet — that's fine, it finishes later. Move it to the plate.

  3. 4

    Sear the beef

    Cut the sirloin into small cubes and cook 8 minutes, then move it over with the rest of the meat pile.

  4. 5

    Cook the veg

    Dice the onion, bell pepper, and serranos, and slice the hot dogs. Add them all to the skillet and cook about 3 minutes until softened.

  5. 6

    Bring it all together

    Chop the tomatoes and add them along with all the cooked meat. Cook about 10 minutes until the tomatoes release their juices. Pour in the beer, season with salt and pepper, cover, and simmer 5 more minutes until everything is tender and saucy.

  6. 7

    Finish and pile into tortillas

    Chop the cilantro and stir it in right before serving. Spoon into warm flour tortillas with guacamole and a scoop of pinto beans. Napkins mandatory.
