- 1 tablespoon lard only needed if your meat does not have added fat
- 1 ½ tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¾ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 3 tablespoon yellow onion finely diced

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