What is the name of the grain/meal frequently used in Mexican food?

It's a type of grain/meal that you mix with water, flatten out, and fry. But, for the life of me I can't remember the name.

Dough made of dried corn that has been soaked in lime water then rinsed and ground, used especially in tortillas and tamalesWhat is the name of the grain/meal frequently used in Mexican food?
it can be described as corn meal although its milled at this point with water,fat ,salt to make -masa , where you either talently flatten (much like a pizza crust is handled ) only with a smaller shape then cook on griddle ( comal -old = hammered iron /newer = cast iron ) both work great

and of coarse you have the tortilla press ,better known as la prensa ( which can also mean metiche's or papparazi HA ! HA ! HEEE ! ) oh yea almost forgot -the fried stuff are called tostadas /tortilla chips
Masa de Harina. It's very different than corn meal or corn flour. It's made from dried pozole (hominy). It has a very different texture, doesn't contain the hull and is actually more nutritious. Corn meal or flour won't work for making masa, tortillas, sopes, etc. You can get a 5 lb. bag in the ethnic section of most decent sized markets or any hispanic market. I always have a bag on hand.What is the name of the grain/meal frequently used in Mexican food?
