minus-square@nocturne213linkEnglish11•2 years agoBecause butter tastes amazing, not everyone likes using lard, or pork products in general.
minus-square@dr_scientistOPlinkEnglish7•2 years agoMy excuse is lard and vegetable shortening is hard to get here. My reason is butter is great.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoI think it’s pretty common to make flour tortillas with some incorporated fat, unlike corn tortillas.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoTIL that tortillas are made with fat. Always thought its just flour, water and salt (and maybe yeast or something)
minus-square@dr_scientistOPlinkEnglish5•2 years agoThey can be made with oil, but my oil ones never really set up properly.

A vegetarian option?
