Making your own tortillas...

[Jonathan Wilson]

Is it actually worth the effort? (and would doing it save money vs buying
tortillas?)
Is it worth investing in a Tortilla Press? (and if so, where would I get one?)

Cheapy tortilla presses are around $20-$30.

For a Mesquite press it costs more:

Or you could do what I do and use two hardcover books and a rolling pin.

I think getting the masa harina is the hard part (and the expensive bit). I
don't think ordinary polenta is fine enough.

See my reply to your other post - I saw that before I saw this one.
