Been making flour tortillas with the press. Fresh tortillas are amazing. Mine came with a bunch of wax papers to put between the press, but I discovered they did more harm then good. After several attempts I settled on a yeast based flour tortilla recipe which I spice up with mild chili powder. Press to shape and then roll it out to size. 60 second later in a piping hot pan and you have a tortilla. Those wax papers come in handy to separate them in the freezer.

My press came pre seasoned, but I think it can do with a few more layers. What are your tips for making tortillas?

    I live in belgium.

    4 shitty food things about it:

    • almost no good Mexican food except for brussels. Almost nowhere seems tamales, much less good ones. Very difficult to find corn husks short of stealing them from farms

    • absolutely no Masa to be found anywhere except specialty, expensive Mexican online shops that come from who knows where

    • it is difficult to find good milk that isn’t ultra high temp pasturized

    • nearly impossible to find decent salsa or even the peppers to make it without travelling to go to a specialty shop in brussels

    Hard life of a Mexican food lover in Belgium 😂
