Tablespoons. 16 tablespoons in a cup. 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon. 1/3 cup would be 5 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon. If you don't have the tablespoon, use the 1/4 cup and guess at 1 and 1/2 of them. There is some margin for error in every recipe.
Only if you're trying to measure half of what the recipe calls for.

Paprika or cayenne pepper can be suitable substitutes for chili in a recipe that calls for it, like masa.
A suitable tomato substitute for a recipe that calls for fresh tomatoes is canned tomatoes.
1 and 1/4 teaspoons
Flour can be measured using a measuring cup. If the recipe calls for less, for example, 1 tablespoon of flour, you can use a tablespoon size measuring spoon.
By packing or shaking the flour into the measuring cup, air is released from within the light and fluffy powder as it becomes denser in the measuring cup. As a result, you are inadvertantly adding more flour to your end product, which would change the inconsisency of the batter, dough, etc. Also something to think about: if the recipe calls for "sifted" flour, you are actually adding more air in addition to taking out clumps. If you don't sift the flour when the recipe calls for it, you are again adding more flour than called for.
