Arizona Cheese Crisps Recipe

Jump to Recipe

I was really excited when I saw the theme ‘dishes with tortilla’ for this month’s BM. I make Mexican food at least once every couple of weeks at home and I found the list of tortilla dishes very interesting. The first dish that caught my eyes is this Arizona cheese crisps.

This is a simple open face baked tortilla topped with cheese and baked until crunchy. This dish is very famous in Arizona, as the name suggests and is very hard to find anywhere else outside the state.

We could just use cheese and eat it with a side of salsa, or add some topping if preferred. I used some tomatoes, green onions and jalapenos as topping and the flavors reminded me of the Mexican Pizza we eat at Taco Bell.

I was almost tempted to make this into the Mexican pizza, but left it out this time as I wanted to stick to the theme. This would make a wonderful starter for a party and takes just few minutes to put together. We had it as our dinner though and since we ate it loaded, we did not even need a salsa to go with it.

Assembled tortillas with Cheese
  • Take it out and layer the jalapenos, tomatoes and green onions.
