East Coast tortillas just aren't the same. Back home in Colorado, they are fresh, delicious and have the perfect texture. Not so in New England, where they crack, crumble and taste like they may have been frozen and defrosted about five or six times. So, I couldn't take it any longer. What do I do when I want a tortilla now? I make one! I made a quick tortilla press in the woodshop, and to my surprise, it was relatively easy to make. Only one problem: I made the press out of hardwood, but the handle out of softwood, so the thing cracked on the tenth or so tortilla. A handle is an easy fix, and I'll take it as a lesson in materials science - don't make the part that gets the most beating out of something soft!
