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?

Hola, just passing by, flour tortillas are easier to form with only a baking roller. The tortilla press is more often used for corn (masa) tortilla as they don’t spring back due to the lack of gluten. Though if this is working for you, carry on.

Also +1 for the ziplock trick, that’s what I do.

Also for flour tortillas search for butter based flour tortillas recipes or look for butter flavoring and use a couple of drops… mind=blown
