Shoutout to my mom for teaching me to roll rotis by hand, now I just use a tortilla press

I used to spend 20 minutes flattening dough with a rolling pin for rotis, getting them all uneven and lopsided. Then I grabbed a $15 tortilla press from the Mexican grocery store last year and it changed everything - perfect circles in 10 seconds flat. Does anyone else have a weird kitchen shortcut that totally replaced a family tradition?

But do you think using the press loses some of the texture you get from hand-rolling, or is it close enough that it doesn't matter?

I used to think that way too, but the press actually works great.
