Hi, All!
Not really sure if I should put this in breads or here but I'll trust the site managers to place it where it needs to go. I just found the most wonderful recipe for homemade tortillas that is awesome and so easy to make. Unfortunately I am using up the last of my Crisco shortening to make them. I won't get anymore for several months until I go back to the states in November. Where I live you can NOT get shortening, lard, (which the recipe asks for) etc. and you definitely can't buy already made tortillas here though you can find everything else (except avocados) to make decent fajitas. They do sell an imported guacamole dip that is really good but it's been off the market for awhile. Is it possible to use butter to make tortillas???? They have great dairy products here and their butter is wonderful. Any input whatsoever would be most appreciated.
