The Arizona Cheesy Chimichanga Dip is a popular appetizer in the Southwest United States. It's a spin on the classic chimichanga dish, which is a deep-fried burrito filled with meat and cheese. This dip is much easier to make than traditional chimichangas, and it's perfect for sharing with a crowd. The creamy cheese and spicy green chilies pair perfectly with crunchy tortilla chips, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

4.	Spoon the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining half of the cheese over the top.
5.	Place the tostada bowls on top of the mixture and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6.	Serve hot with your favorite tortilla chips!
