Crispy flatbread is a traditional recipe with roots in various cultures around the world. In Latin America, although it varies in name and preparation, this type of bread is commonly known as "tortitas" or "crispy pancakes" in some countries, while in others it may have different names related to its texture or cooking method. Its origin dates back to ancient times, when a way to make quick and easy bread was sought, using simple ingredients and methods that did not require a wood-fired oven or long fermentation times.
This bread has evolved over the years and in different Latin American countries it has been adapted with local ingredients, but the essence of a flat, thin, and crispy bread remains. This type of bread is often used to accompany meals, spread with sauces, or simply enjoyed as a snack. Its simplicity and versatility make it a classic homemade recipe.
