tropit, do you think we can use tomato juice in place of the water or the red version.
Also I might need to find a press online, any hints as to what to look for, am a widow so would not need a costly one. I do use organic WW for baking.
Thank you for the flour recipe.

I have always wondered how they are made. Thank you for the recipes! I will certainly try these!

What brand of press do you recommend?

I'm in Maine also. Both Walmart and Shaw's have masa in my area.

Thanks. Good to know. I’ll have to keep my eyes open, otherwise I might try Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods on my next trip to Portland.

Likewise, if you come to Maine, you’ll have to let me know. I am a couple hours from Acadia but doable in a day’s trip. It is a beautiful park and very scenic. Next time I’m up in Mendo, I’ll let you know. I’ll be in Vacaville in April with my newest grandchild. : )

I bu them at the 99 cent store and they are just as good as any I have bought anywhere. And they last a long time in the refrigerator.

My friend used to tease me about never getting married because I could never get my tortillas to balloon up. I loved making tortillas with her mother and got those asbestos fingers from turning them on the grill. Love the memories. PS married even without rising tortillas.

Mine is made by Tortilladora. I bought it online, but I can't remember where. I think it was in a gardening catalog. I'd check with Amazon.com.
