Can masa be cooked in the oven? I've only ever made tortillas...I'm trying to branch out!
Yes, I am refering to masa harina.
There is a fabulous restaurant here in Salt Lake City called the Red Iguana. They have this dish called potisinas, I think. Anyway, it seems to me to be an uncooked tortilla stuffed with maybe ranchero cheese, green onions and chilies. Then they deep fry them. It's my favorite thing and I want to try to recreate them, but possibly a little lighter...hense the baking. They probably only taste so good because they're fried. lol...I guess if they're baked it almost becomes a quesadilla.

Masa is a corn flour. What are you trying to do? It's not a matter of this or that where it can be cooked. It's about the recipe that it's in.
