Discada norteña (plow disc mixed meat cook)
Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Tamaulipas border region — agricultural communities, late 20th century
Discada is a Northern Mexican outdoor cooking tradition using a reclaimed agricultural plow disc as a wok-like cooking vessel. Multiple meats (chorizo, bacon, ham, sausage, beef) are cooked together with beer, tomato, chile, and onion directly on the disc over an open fire. It is a communal outdoor feast — similar to asado culture but focused on mixed meats rather than whole animals. The disc's curved shape concentrates heat and allows fats from multiple meats to mix.
