Looking on Amazon the reviews are all over the place. Willing to spend money to get one from the USA.

Would like to make tortillas and keto flatbreads and stuff like that. Nothing crazy.

Just go to La Michoacana or other Mexican market and pick one up on the cheap.

My family has a few different ones and they all function the same. We just pick up the basic cast aluminum ones in Mexico. Steel, aluminum, painted, bare, it doesn't really matter because we still use folded wax paper between the top and bottom. Corn tortillas only though. Flour gets the rolling pin.

Pretty much any cast iron one will do. It's a simple tool made of a couple of plates, a lever, and two hinges. If you want to be fancy you can get a wooden one.

Rip a gallon plastic baggie down each side. Open up and place masa ball on one side of baggie. Fold over the other side to cover masa. Grab a glass pie plate and press. You can see easily the size and thickness of you tortilla. Don buy anything.
Good Day.

My dad has a shop in Katy and has made several out of hard maple for a local taco truck (2 trucks).

I can ask him how much he charged.

We started making tortillas recently and did this exact same method. Worked like a charm.

That isnt the right way to do keto. Sure, you may lose weight, but at what expense?

I find that much less odd or disturbing than people purposely avoiding meat or even adding chemicals and processing vegetable matter in an effort to make a fake burger with it.

Any time someone uses the word "Chemicals" in that context, it's pretty obvious that person has no clue what they're talking about it. Every food you eat is made entirely of chemicals.

That said, I don't think fake meat is a good choice for someone trying to eat healthy. That market is being driven by animal cruelty and environmental factors.
