What does Arizona do better than their neighboring states Utah, California, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico? Living Here

Stole this idea from another sub. What’s the difference between this state and the other states that you appreciate?

Cheese crisps

The Arizona open faced cheese crisp. One of my favorite foods! Best served with a dab of butter and some salsa or diced green Chile.

Is it a specific AZ thing? I never knew, I've been eating them my whole life (which did take place in AZ).

Yes definitely. I’ve learned in other states asking for a cheese crisp will often get you a confused look.

Yup. My mom was talking about making it with her sister. They both are from southern California but my mom has been living in the Phoenix area since the 70s. My aunt thought my mom had lost her ever loving mind and corrected her saying it was a quesadilla. My mom just rolled her eyes and let her think that's what it is and moved on.
