I got a tortilla press for Xmas (yes, it was on my list) and just tried making these myself, I was amazed at how easy it was. Or should I say amaized. ha ha They came out quite good for a first try, but I need to do some more experimenting with the temperature of the pan. I just used a heavy nonstick skillet and it seemed to work fine after I lowered the temperature because I burned the first one.

lore – Good luck finding some masa harina. Can’t make Mexican food without it.

psychgrad – Trying to find more uses for it but yeah, I sure do have a tortilla press.

madam chow – It’s fun stuff. And for once I don’t mind the smells coming from my kitchen.

sandie – It’s what I like so much about this city. It’s all about the divrse neighborhoods.

zita – You’re welcome

christine – Got my press on sale, too. Turned out to be pretty useful.

natashya – I make this regularly and it still doesn’t come out right every time. Sometimes I give up and crisp them up on baking sheets in the oven, kind of like tostadas.

gay – It’s wort the bit of effort. Even better if you can get your hands on fresh masa.

noobcook – Freshly toasted tortillas smell so good.

colloquial cook – Took a second to figure out what you meant by flatmate — pretty appropriate considering your website name

how amazing it is to make your own tortillas! It’s a lot of work… but it sure looks like it’s totally worth it

Didn't realize that making tortillas is that easy! It would be great to make my own so I can have tortillas anytime. last blog post: In a hurry coleslaw

Yours look flawless. I have a foxrun tortilla press and have made them a few times. Looking at yours - I think I am using too much oil on my comal (in my case -a cast iron crepe pan)I cut open a ziplock bag and use that but wax paper would be more economical. Thanks for the tips! last blog post: California Grilled Pizzas

I saw a tortilla press in a thrift shop last week and I passed on it, figuring I'll never make tortillas. I'm going back tomorrow to see if it is still available. Thanks for the step by step instructions. last blog post: 135. How to cook one ear of corn in the microwave and corn almond soup - Recipes
