Your new favorite instant tortilla maker follows in the footsteps of pod-based machines such as Keurig and Nespresso. However, where these machines could only deliver instant coffee, espresso, and soup, the Flatev churns out fresh tortillas.
Simply insert a dough-filled pod, hit a button, and a flat piping-hot tortilla is delivered instantly, eager to hold all of your Mexican fare. The Flatev is available for pre-order here.
So, are the tortillas any good? We’re not sure. But they’ll probably pair well with the puddle water from your Keurig.
If you’re a bit nervous about swaddling your new baby, The Tortilla Baby Swaddle Blanket is here to help. Designed to look like a tortilla, and we know you know how to roll a burrito, you’ll have that baby wrapped up in no time. To help complete the burrito ensemble, the set comes with a burrito knot hat.
Just remember… Most burritos from Chipotle and similar establishments are baby-sized, so please pay attention at dinner time. Happy swaddling.
