Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'll admit that at first I was a bit frustrated with making my tortillas. This quickly ended after I figured out a few things and my second batch was so much fun to make.
This is what I do:
1) Mix up the maza and keep it moist. I roll out the balls first.
2) Use 1 sheet of wax paper.
3) Fold the wax paper in half (I do this diagonally so that it fits)
4) Put the wax paper so that the open end is at the hinge side of the press and the folded part of the wax paper is at the handle side of the press. This will help in removing the tortillia.
5) Put your tortillia ball about 1 inch off center towards the hinge of the press and then fold over the wax paper and close the press. The maza being off center will keep it evenly pressed. If it is in the center it tends to get pushed forward too much and hangs off the press.
6) Open the press and run the wax paper with your hand a few times prior to peeling of the paper. This helps to break the bond. Turn the paper over and do the same thing to the other side. The tortillia now will fall out the paper very easily.
7) Since the paper peels off the tortilla from back to front, the tortillia will not rip. If the paper were the other way it tends to rip the tortillia as the handle side of my press makes the tortillia thinner there.
Hopefully this helps get you started. I love this press. Wish it were bigger though.

Homemade tortillas are truly a treat, and like nearly all flatbreads, not too difficult to make. Get your tortilla flat and even with this simple manual press. This could be one element of a fabulous "flavors of the Southwest" gift basket.
