I was in a local mexican grocery store and spotted the odd colored field maize called "Morado" and just knew I had to try some.

I made masa out of it. I have no idea what you do with this corn in Mexico, but it seemed worth a try.

The dough was slightly less sticky than normal but it cooked well and puffed up in all the right places. It's an odd color but that's part of the fun. The tortillas were delicious and I'd do it again.
