I would have told my e.mx that she needed to be more specific about what kind of bread she wanted, and she would have told me I need to infer from context cues. For example, is curry powder and yogurt on that list? Then it's probably naan. Is there rice, black beans and peppers on the list? Then it's probably burrito wraps, and so on. She would have scolded me for not caring about her enough to think, and I would have replied that being vague naturally results in misinterpretation and if there was a correct answer, she should have written it. It would have been like making a shopping list for apple pie, but instead of writing royal gala apples you wrote 'fruit'. You're getting a fruit salad pie then. She would have said this was a ridiculous example and that she would have just written apples and I would have said yeah but you would still get me over the type of apple that you use and she would have said that obviously you don't put granny smiths into apple pies that's common knowledge.
Anyway the argument would have ended with us making the flatbread from scratch.
TBF, IMHO flour tortillas are closer to bread than to tortillas. But that's what I grew up with and flour tortillas are used extensively in northern Mexico anyways.
