Tortilla Press unboxing and testing

I unbox and use my new tortilla press to make my very first corn tortilla. There are dozens of videos here on YouTube and the cooks do a much better job than I did. In fact, despite many experiments, I can't get my tortillas to puff up when they cook. However, they still turn out well and I use them for making taquitos and soft tacos. They're delicious! I am so very happy with this tortilla press. I really enjoy using it.
Note: I bought this press with my own money. It is not a product promotion.

For experimenting, I came up with a simple formula to make just one tortilla. I've done it often.

3 tablespoons Maseca corn masa flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons hot tap water

Blend all the ingredients in a small bowl, then knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest several minutes, them roll into a ball and press with the tortilla press (be sure to use plastic sheets; I forgot once and made a mess).

Although it might seem like a waste of time to make just one tortilla, it works for me when I want to experiment with something, or if I want a quick and simple snack if I already have some filling prepared that only needs warming. Or scramble an egg with some chorizo and fill the tortilla to make a soft breakfast taco. I've done that several times. A little added cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack) is even better.
