If you’ve lived in Arizona for any significant amount of time, you’re probably familiar with cheese crisps. To anyone from out of state, the idea of melting cheese on top of a tortilla and calling it an appetizer (or even a meal) is a bit strange, but we know better. Some of the best cheese crisps in Arizona can be found at Tucson’s El Minuto Cafe, a local hotspot for nearly 100 years. Their menu boasts 10 different kinds of this Arizona delicacy, ensuring nobody leaves the table hungry.
