A compact tortilla press and oven unit. The press delivers formed tortillas to the oven wherein they are toasted on a plurality of rotating oven discs. The tortilla is initially received by a first oven disc upon which a first side of the tortilla is partially toasted. Upon completion of one revolution of the first oven disc, the tortilla is removed therefrom by a first scraper. A second rotating oven disc adjacent to and in vertical alignment with the first oven disc receives the tortilla on a second side thereof by means of a slide intermediate to the first and second discs. The slide receives the tortilla upon removal thereof from the first disc and allows the tortilla to turn over and be placed upside down on the adjacent disc. Upon completion of one revolution of the second disc, upon which the second side of the tortilla has been partially toasted, the tortilla is removed therefrom by a second scraper. The toasting of each side of the tortilla is completed in a similar sequence by a third and fourth rotating disc in vertical alignment with the first and second discs. The method for toasting a tortilla within the oven comprises the steps of toasting a first side of the tortilla on a first rotating disc, translating the tortilla from the first disc to a second rotating disc, and toasting a second side of the tortilla on the second disc.
