- 1 large russet potato cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup canola oil divided
- 2 1/4 tsp salt divided
- 1/2 lb pork tenderlion cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 lb hanger steak cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 hot dogs cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow onion chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 2 jalapeño chiles halved lengthwise
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 plum tomatoes chopped
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 3/4 cup Mexican lager beer
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
-
Cook the bacon in a big skillet on medium-high heat while stirring occasionally for about 6 minutes, until it just starts to crisp. Add chorizo and continue to cook, stirring to break into pieces until the chorizo is browned and the bacon is crisp, another 4 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer everything to a large bowl, but make sure to save the drippings in the skillet.
-
Add the potato, 2 tablespoons of the oil, and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt to the skillet. Cook while stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and browned, about 8 minutes. Transfer the potato to the bowl with the bacon mixture. Add pork, steak, hot dogs, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Cook while stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes. Use the slotted spoon again to transfer the pork mixture to the bacon mixture bowl.
-
Add onion, bell pepper, jalapeños, cumin, black pepper, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; cook while stirring occasionally until everything becomes tender, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes and garlic, and continue to cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in beer, cilantro, and bacon mixture. Turn the temperature down to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally until liquid has mostly evaporated, about 10 minutes. Serve in tortillas with desired toppings.
