Abstract

An adjustable tortilla maker comprises a base plate comprising a lower forming surface and a pressing plate comprising an upper forming surface. When the pressing plate is in a pressing state, the lower forming surface is opposite to the upper forming surface. A rotary shaft assembly comprises a pressing plate pin shaft mounted on a rotary shaft seat, and the pressing plate is rotatably connected to the rotary shaft seat through the pressing plate pin shaft. A mounting post is connected to the base plate, and the mounting post extends along a thickness direction of the base plate. The mounting post protrudes from the lower forming surface of the base plate, and the rotary shaft seat is configured to be movably mounted on the mounting post. A locking portion is configured to lock the rotary shaft seat to the mounting post at a predefined position.
