Instead of using the wax paper, get a large zip lock type bag. Cut it in half along the seams to make a sheet of plastic and then use that between the press and the tortilla. I usually rub the bag with a little bit of fat (lard, oil, etc) to keep them from sticking as much. It’s more necessary for corn tortillas but I think it helps either way.

Where I live they legalized marijuana, but didn’t issue licenses for legal dispensaries for almost two years. Nearly every corner store and head shop is a front . There’s even a pizza shop near by with weed for sale openly.
