Masa or masa de maíz (English: / ˈ m ɑː s ə /; Spanish pronunciation:) is a dough that comes from ground nixtamalized maize. It is used for making corn tortillas, gorditas, tamales, pupusas, and many other Latin American dishes. It is dried and powdered into a flour form called harina de maíz or masa harina.
