being of hispanic origin, I decided to purchase this item, to make my cooking a little easier.....was not completely satisfied with the press, my flour tortillas, were more smaller on this press, than when I roll them out......maybe it was not the right press for making flour tortillas. It's made for corn tortillas.

How to make masa and tortillas from corn tortilla flour and how to use the tortilla press and comal:
3 cups of Maseca Tortilla flour or masa harina 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 to 2 cups lukewarm water
Mix ingredients in a bowl with a fork. Gather into a ball, and knead dough until smooth and no longer sticky. Cover with a towel and allow to stand for 1 hour.
HOW TO USE A TORTILLA PRESS
To make tortillas, start by lining the base of the tortilla press with a sheet of plastic wrap. Take small balls of dough from the masa and place them in the center of the lined press base. Cover the masa with another sheet of plastic wrap. Close the press by lowering the top and pushing down the handle. Open the press to reveal the tortilla, which will have plastic wrap on the bottom. Carefully peel off the top plastic wrap. Place your hand under the tortilla, then flip it onto your other hand so the plastic wrap is now on top. Gently remove the remaining plastic wrap. Transfer the tortilla to a preheated, very hot griddle or comal. Cook until the edges start to dry, then flip it over. Continue cooking until the top begins to puff, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lightly tap the tortilla with your fingertips to encourage even puffing. Remove the tortilla, wrap it in a napkin or clean towel, and enjoy!

Video How to use a Tortilla Press by Cook123Use a Tortilla Press to make Tamales
Tip from Debbie McDade: We discovered how useful a tortilla press is for spreading the Masa in making Tamales. We make the dough then press a ball of it between 2 pieces of wax paper (which can be used many times). Then we remove 1 piece of the paper and lay it on the corn husks. Remove the other piece of paper and fill, roll, and cook. You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to make tamales!

My son, who lives in New York, enjoyed all the products ordered through your company. Thank you very much.
The chamomile and anise herbal tea, is excellent when you or somebody in the family experience a bloated stomach, it helps with your digestion . and it has a very nice mild flavor. I always keep a package on my kitchen pantry. Have been using this tea for many years.
LaVictoria taco sauce (medium) is fantastic. Just enough kick to be enjoyable. I sure wish it was available in Florida or on Amazon as it’s quite expensive to ship to Florida. It is by far my favorite toco sauce ever!

We love this hot sauce and it’s impossible to find locally. We took a chance and ordered from Mex Grocer and couldn’t be happier. We’ll be even happier when we can find it in Massachusetts again - are you listening?
