Just a note, someone is confused on the corn tortilla part.  You use the
press to make the tortilla and then "cook" them on a flat iron or in a cast
iron skillet.  We always cooked them on those cast iron burner covers that
old stoves had on them.  The stoves that have cast iron griddle in the
middle work good to.

lived in Baja
