Thanks for the inspiration. I've been griping about the same thing for quite some time now but never thought to make my own. I live in the Southwest and you'd think there would be some decent tortillas available but not so much. There are one or two places but, as you point out, you have to buy a dozen. They are fresh, but expensive and because there are no preservatives they age like bread so many of them go to the birds because a dozen is just too many. I will be getting a tortilla press soon!
