Melt the lard in a substantial cooking vessel over an elevated heat setting. Introduce the rice, and stir until it turns golden brown. Add the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion reaches a light caramelization stage. Incorporate the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chicken broth, chili powder and salt into the mixture. Bring the contents to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat to a low setting, cover the vessel, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice has achieved a tender consistency.
