Making tasty tortillas has always been a little bit daunting to me
. I am not a great talent in the kitchen and it always seemed so much easier to just grab some pre-made tortillas at the store on the way home from work. And theyre great, but if you have a family like mine then they are not the best. My family adores hot and spicy Mexican food and tortillas are their favorite. Ive always been too bothered to try making them myself because they never seem to be as round and flat as the store bought ones.
Well have I changed my mind since I purchased a tortilla press? Now Im making authentic, Mexican hand-made tortillas that not only look authentic, but also taste better than the store bought ones. They are fresh and easy to make and I can create dozens of them at a time. The wooden tortilla press is fabulous and fits right in with my rustic kitchen decor. Ive also bought the electrostatic and cast iron tortilla press because they all deliver tempting and tasty tortillas.
The best thing about eating a tortilla that Ive made using the tortilla press is that they are hot and fresh, and if youve got a family like mine then youll want to give them the best tortillas possible. Using the tortilla press is easy and it makes the flattest, roundest and freshest tortillas this side of the Rio Grande. It is so easy to clean, and always ready and waiting for the next round of tortillas. The tortilla presses dont take up a whole lot of space in my cupboards and Ive even been sharing the secret of great tortillas with my friends and family by giving them as gifts for special occasions like Christmas.
The only drawback is, my family wants that true taste of Mexico every night!
