But why butter at all?
Because butter tastes amazing, not everyone likes using lard, or pork products in general.
My excuse is lard and vegetable shortening is hard to get here. My reason is butter is great.
A vegetarian option?
They can be made with oil, but my oil ones never really set up properly.
Right. If something needs saturated fats I don't automatically switch to oil because of those kinds of reasons
Maybe try vegetable shortening for a veggiesaurus version? Might set up better than oil.
I think it's pretty common to make flour tortillas with some incorporated fat, unlike corn tortillas.
TIL that tortillas are made with fat. Always thought its just flour, water and salt (and maybe yeast or something)
