    Would ghee be a good substitute for the lard in this recipe?

    Generally speaking, ghee or bacon fat will work as a sub for lard.

    What is a sheet pan please? From the UK never heard of that. Baking tray possibly?

    Yes, a baking tray will work just fine.

    What else can be used in place of lard? Can i use butter? I would think that coconut oil or bacon fat would change the taste? If I have to use lard where would I find that? Is it just on a shelf and says LARD on it? or would that be like Crisco or something like that?

    Bacon grease would be a good substitute for lard. Lard is rendered animal fat; Crisco is vegetable oil based and not a good option.

    One must be careful with lard. Much of the commercial contains other fats such as transfers as well as other adulterates. Read the list of ingredients carefully. Best to buy it from the meat counter or render your own.

    I used bacon fat since I had it handy and the recipe was great! Very easy, and tasty with the carne asada with avocado salsa recipe from this site.
