What to so with mesa flour?

I had to buy a 5 lb bag for a recipe that only needed 1 cup.

Any ideas of what I can do with it?

Sorry, it's masa.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground chicken or turkey breast
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 medium (approx 2-3/4" long, 2-1/2" dia each) green bell peppers, seeded, minced

6. In very hot iron skillet, cook pupusas on each side until golden brown. Serve hot.

The only thing I've ever used masa for is making tortillas - there's probably a recipe for them on the package, we used to sprinkle them with Spike seasoning...they are sooo good! Way easier if you have a tortilla press, but not really worth it if you're not going to make them a lot.
