When working with a lard based dough, the tortillas are more prone to crack at the edges. For a smooth, round tortilla shape, I find it best to press the dough more than once. First, I press the tortilla about half way into a three or four inch round. Then I use the curve of my fingers to press any rough, ragged edges into a smooth circle. Then I press the tortilla a second time to get a nice, evenly rounded shape with neat edges.
You may also find it helpful to rotate the tortilla around 180 degrees before pressing a second time to get a more even thickness on the tortilla. The tortilla press tends to put more pressure on the side nearest the hinge, which can make that side slightly thinner.
