Cheese crisps
These cheesy delights are one of Arizona’s delicacies, originating in Tucson and loved throughout the state. They’re made with a thin, open-faced flour tortilla which is smothered in butter and shredded cheese and toasted until crispy. Often topped with green chillies, onions or cilantro, this is one delicious Arizonan snack you cannot miss.
Navajo tacos

Hailed as the state dish of Arizona, Navajo tacos are made with crispy Indian fry bread topped with all the taco trimmings you can dream of, from traditional ground beef and beans to pulled pork and carnitas. Dish it up with pico de gallo, salsa, sour cream, cheese, avocado, lettuce and tomato and you’ve got the ultimate Navajo taco.
Chimichangas

The chimi is one of the stars of Arizona’s rich food heritage, and it’s thought to have been invented in Tucson, a UNESCO capital of gastronomy. Made with a flour tortilla stuffed with anything from shredded chicken or beef to rice, beans and cheese, this pocket of deliciousness is then deep-fried and topped with salsa, guacamole and sour cream. Yum!
