Culinary Traditions in Phoenix
A blend of local ingredients and Indigenous culture has created a unique dining scene in Phoenix that stands out:
Saguaro Fruit: The Saguaro Cactus is a familiar part of the Phoenix landscape, and its fruit is a sweet treat. Many people boil it down to make syrup that’s used in drinks and barbecue sauce, but the whole fruit is often dried to create a crunchy candy.
Prickly Pear Cactus: Prickly Pear Cactus is also a part of the scenic desert, and many people use its pads and flowers to make jellies, salsas, and margaritas.
Navajo-Churro Sheep: Navajo-Churro sheep are a tender and sweet meat that’s generally leaner and milder than other breeds.
Mesquite Pod Flower: While many people turn mesquite trees into charcoal, the pods are edible. They are an excellent source of fiber and protein and can be dried and turned into a sweet flour, which can substitute for sugar in some recipes.
Arizona Cheese Crisp: Cheese crisps are a local favorite that’s different from traditional quesadillas. Arizona cheese crisps are open-faced flour tortillas toasted with butter and cheddar until crisp and topped with mild green chiles.
Fry Bread: Indigenous North Americans created fry bread. It’s made with flour, water, and salt ,then fried, and topped with sweet or savory items.
