Step 1

Combine chili powder, cumin, onion flakes, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Add to ground meat and incorporate spices into meat, using your hands.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lard to pan, let it melt, and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 3

Add seasoned meat to pan and spread meat out into a thin layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until bottom side is browned and crisp. Flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Break up meat with a wooden spoon or ChopStir tool. Add in tomato paste and broth. Stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer and let liquid reduce for an additional 2-3 minutes or until liquid is no longer soupy. The mixture should be mostly meat with a little extra thickened sauce to keep it moist.

Step 5

Divide meat among tortillas. Top with desired toppings. Enjoy!

Step 6

Suggested toppings per taco: 1 tbsp shredded cheese, 1 tsp diced onion, 1 tbsp sour cream, 1 tbsp salsa, 1 tbsp diced tomatoes, 2 tbsp shredded lettuce, and ½ tbsp sliced black olives.
