Anyone seen this product in HCMC? I've thought of making my own but its fairly labor intensive.

No help right now but I'm bringing over a tortilla press to make corn and flour tortillas when I get to Nha Trang.  Hope there is massa for sale, got to have my Tex-Mex fix to be happy in life.

Can't make promises but in the future when I make a batch I will be making batch of around 60 at a time.  I just freeze them in double plastic bags or vacuum sealer.  I could cut you a stack also it suits you but you would need to be in or visiting Nha Trang obviously.

But listen on the other hand all you need is a rolling surface, a small rolling pin and a flat griddle or a really large pan that can take the heat.  It's hard to fckp a tortilla because the ingredietns are easy, the dough forgiving and corn tortillas LOVE high heat.  If you burn one, eat it  and then cook another and move on. No biggie

Hey it just hit me, aren't there at least one or two Mexican /or Tex-Mex restuarants in HCMC?  Why not just put in an order with them and let them make them?  Oh sorry you're from Austin in Bien Hoa?  Well take care mofo, I'm carefully admit I'm originally from E. Texas so I get your need for tortillas.  I'm bringing a chili powder stash with me, you'll know what I'm talkin' bout.   Have someone in Austin mail you a tortillas press, not expense but lot faster.

It will take you and hour to make a good stack because of the accumulated time to roll and cook em.  Nothing else is complicated. Wheat tortillas even easier except for the mixing part, really need a proper mixer maybe with a dough hook attachment.   Corn ones are the one impossible to find outside of C America and the Southwestern USA.

BTW: Sorry to hear about Romo.
