Taking Tacos to a New Level
Taking Tacos to a New Level
We’re of the mind that the tortilla makes the taco. You've put so much love and care into your toppings and fillings – scouring the farmers market for the freshest ingredients, spending hours stewing meat, pickling onions, and grinding salsa – why serve the fruits of your labor atop a mediocre tortilla? Once you've embraced the homemade tortilla, it’s hard to go back to store-bought.
How to Make TortillasFAQ
Do I need to use plastic liners with my Tortilla Press?
Since well-hydrated masa can be moist and sticky, it should not be applied directly onto the press — you’ll need to use plastic liners. A good thin liner, like ours, will also make the process of removing the masa easier and faster. Your Tortilla Press comes with one set of Masienda’s custom liners — they’re the perfect size and peel away easily from masa. You can also use a thin grocery bag, or in a pinch, Ziplock bags work but have a higher tendency to stick to the masa.
How should I clean my Tortilla Press?
After use, wipe the press clean with a dry rag. If it requires a deeper cleaning, go in with a slightly damp rag, making sure to dry it completely afterwards. Paint may wear in high-contact areas after extended use. Do not submerge in water. Any excess moisture will create rust.
Is it normal for my Tortilla Press to wobble slightly?
Due to the hand made nature of the Tortilla Press, it's normal for the legs to be slightly uneven. All presses can have a little wobble — you can place a towel under it to help keep it from moving and from scratching any surfaces.
