For some reason, this reminded me of cheese crisps. When I was a wee boy growing up in Arizona this was a very common thing. Essentially, it was just a large fresh flour tortilla on a cookie sheet with grated cheeses on top. If you were really fancy you'd put sliced jalapenos or diced Hatch chiles, which I preferred. Put it in the over and cook until the bottom got crispy. Whenever we'd go out, we'd have this as an appetizer. We'd just take turns breaking or snapping off a piece until it was gone. I remember the cheese would often be a bit stretchy like pizza and those strings would make your mouth water. My mother used to make them when we had company over. I don't remember seeing this in a restaurant or on a menu in like forever. Funny how food goes out of style. Dang, now I want one. Wonder if this was just a regional thing.
Thanks for sharing this, Gore! I had no idea such a simple thing was an actual menu item and originated in Tuscon Arizona. I thought this relevant:
