TUCSON CHEESE CRISPS
This is an easy, delicious appetizer for two. Try to use the thinnest tortillas you can find as they work best in this. I found this in "The Border Cookbook"

ROASTED CHEESE CRISPS
These cheese crisps are very versatile....sprinkle them into a green salad, use with hors d'oeuvres, serve with cocktails, use as a garnish on macaroni and cheese, or just snack on them! Lots of different cheeses could be used, just make sure you use a hard cheese....if it's too soft it will just melt and spread to form a uniform sheet of cheese in your pan. Play around with the flavorings too...I've just added the red pepper but you can use sweet or hot chile powder or add some cumin, fennel or coriander seeds, lightly crushed. Herbs likie rosemary or thyme can be added as well.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375°.
- Shred the block of cheese lengthwise (longer shreds work better) using a box grater with holes about 1/4-inch wide.
- Place in a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle with the flour; toss gently with a fork to coat the cheese.
- Sprinkle with the red pepper, toss again.
- Place a silicone baking mat or a sheet of parchment paper on a 16 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch sheet pan.
- Scatter half of the cheese evenly over the mat.

- Remove from the oven; cool.
- Blot up any grease with paper towels.
- Break the crisp into large pieces; arrange on a platter.

ARIZONA CHEESE CRISP
The sloping sides of a wok allow you to easily curl the edges of the tortilla as it deep-fries. If you wish, you may deep-fry the tortilla flat in a large skillet.

Steps:
- Pour oil into wok to depth of 1 inch. Place over medium-high heat until oil registers 360°F on deep-frying thermometer. Slide 1 tortilla into oil. Using 2 slotted spoons, gently hold center of tortilla down so oil flows over edges. When tortilla is crisp and golden on bottom, carefully tilt wok, holding tortilla in place with spoon, to cover edge of tortilla with oil; cook until lightly browned. Rotate tortilla as needed so entire edge is lightly browned. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels, curled side down. Repeat with second tortilla. Tortillas can be made up to 8 hours in advance. Cover loosely and let stand at room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place shells, curled side up, on baking sheet. Sprinkle each with half of the cheddar cheese; top each with half of the picante sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes or until cheeses melt. To serve, break into bite-size pieces.
- Chorizo Cheese Crisp: Remove casing from 1/4 pound chorizo sausage. Crumble sausage into large skillet; stir over medium-high heat until browned. Drain fat. Follow directions for Arizona Cheese Crisp but substitute chorizo for Parmesan cheese.
- Olive Cheese Crisp: Follow directions for Arizona Cheese Crisp but omit picante sauce and Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle 1/3 cup sliced pitted ripe olives and 1/3 cup diced green chilies over Cheddar cheese.
