Olive oil is healthier due to its unsaturated fats, while vegetable shortening is often cheaper.

Welcome to the kitchen and introduction to the flour tortilla hack.

In a food processor, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and lard.

Pulse the mixture until it resembles wet sand.

Slowly drizzle in hot water (about 125-130 degrees Fahrenheit) until a dough ball forms.

Let the food processor run for a minute or two to knead the dough.

Remove the dough from the processor and feel its texture.

Place the dough in a bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Portion out the dough into pieces weighing around 50 grams each, aiming for about 16 tortillas.

Shape each piece into a smooth ball and set aside.

Cover the tray of dough balls with plastic wrap and let them rest for another 10-15 minutes.

Heat a cast iron tortilla press on the stovetop.

Press each dough ball in the heated tortilla press, flipping it once during cooking.

Continue cooking the remaining tortillas.

Heat a cast iron pan and add a little oil.

Add paper-thin slices of beef to the pan and stir in taco seasoning.

Cook the beef until done, then place two tortillas on the flat top to warm them up.

Crumble cheese over the tortillas and let it melt.

Assemble the tacos with beef, guacamole, cilantro, onion, and lime juice.

Add cooked beans with jalapeno to the tacos.
