Tostada Grande de Tucson
Recipe Source: El Charro Preparation Time: 5 minutesCook Time: 10 minutesServings: 4Also known as Mexican pizza or cheese crisp, the tostada grande is a staple of the Sonoran cooking so prevalent in Tucson. This recipe, from the venerable El Charro, is very basic and easy to eat without spillage; but it is common to add cebolitas (grilled green onions) on top. You might also consider salsa, grilled vegetables or shredded beef -- all of which make it pretty messy.
Ingredients:
1 18-inch flour tortilla16 ounces shredded longhorn cheese (or other mild cheddar)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Bake the tortilla 5 minutes directly on a rack in the oven.
Remove the tortilla and place it on a pizza pan or large cookie sheet.
Spread the cheese evenly on the tortilla and bake until it is completely melted, 4-5 minutes.
Serve while still warm.
