With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted lard and water. Continue processing until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Transfer the dough to a piece of plastic wrap. Shape into a disc, wrap tightly, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 2-3 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
• Working with one dough ball at a time (keep the rest covered so they don't dry out), place between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a heavy skillet to press down evenly into a thin tortilla.
• Transfer the tortilla to the griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

Increase the heat to high and use a masher or whisk to break the meat into small pieces. Cook until the beef is golden brown and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with ½ cup of water, stirring to scrape up any browned bits. 12. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the liquid reduces.
• In a liquid measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1½ cups water. Add to the beef mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Use an immersion blender to purée about a quarter of the meat in the pan, then stir everything together.

• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
