There was a period in 2020 and into 2021 beyond meat was cheaper than ground beef.

I am a vegetarian and do my best to avoid meat replacements, but I do miss meat balls and meatloaf. Beyond meat works well for both of those.

Because butter tastes amazing, not everyone likes using lard, or pork products in general.

Tortillas have fat (lard or vegetable shortening) and leavening (baking powder) typically, and from what I recall roti have neither.

I am not an expert on either, but I did grow up and live in NM where our tortilla sections are larger than our bread sections in the grocery stores.
