Lenten Mexican flatbread on water

This easy-to-make flatbread makes a great base for appetizers! The lean Mexican flatbread is also called tortilla. Typically, a lean flatbread is made from wheat or corn flour. By the way, Spanish tortillas have nothing to do with Mexican tortillas, they are all just the same name. This culinary recipe is made from wheat flour. And a wheat tortilla is very different from a corn tortilla. It is better because it lasts longer and remains soft.

Marina, try replacing it with vegetable oil. By the way, wheat flour can be replaced with corn flour

My flatbreads turned out very crispy, but I probably should have used vegetable fat rather than oil. Overall, it turned out very tasty!

Yes, that means fat is still better...

I love all kinds of flatbreads like this! It's always nice when you have hot baked goods on your table! True, in such recipes I don’t understand where to get some ingredients, for example, vegetable fat? and not every housewife has baking powder on hand; can it be replaced with something else? for example, soda or yeast?

Narayna Baking Powder is a common baking powder. In my opinion, it is easier to find in the store than even soda. And vegetable fat is any modern margarine that is offered as a replacement for butter. It is also sold in any store. You can melt it, you can add vegetable oil instead. This is also vegetable fat. It would be difficult to find a simpler and more accessible recipe!
