You don't need a tortillas press to make flour tortillas...a rolling pin is fine. I have made them and for sure not worth the time or mess. Store bought tortillas are absolutely the way to go for convenience and consistency and taste. If you are truly a gourmet, find a tortilla factory or Mexican restaurant that sells fresh. Making them one at a time at home was just not worth it for me--they are not hard but I have a small kitchen and don't like getting flour all over or devoting a lot of counter space to the rollout etc.
