Been making flour tortillas with the press. Fresh tortillas are amazing. Mine came with a bunch of wax papers to put between the press, but I discovered they did more harm then good. After several attempts I settled on a yeast based flour tortilla recipe which I spice up with mild chili powder. Press to shape and then roll it out to size. 60 second later in a piping hot pan and you have a tortilla. Those wax papers come in handy to separate them in the freezer.

My press came pre seasoned, but I think it can do with a few more layers. What are your tips for making tortillas?

Dad used one to press some ground beef for burgers, never did it again

You just reminded me of a burger place in Union Gap called miners. Their burgers used to be very flat and very wide, with equally sized buns. Loved that concept as it made them very easy to eat.
