Lan and Mick are working with wood in Gold Beach, Oregon.  I make homemade corn tortillas every day instead of bread and/or toast and trust me, it is not only easy and fast, the taste is incredible.  It is like the difference between hot bread fresh out of the oven and three day old bread.  Store bought corn tortillas just cannot compare.  I had posted a photo of one of my tortillas with cherry pie filling on top of it to Instagram.  And when I clicked on the hashtag for #tortillapress, I found these guys!
