This is a play on the Jalapeño Cheddar Garlic flour tortillas that sell out in record time every time I make them, but with different peppers. Hungarian Hot Wax, Serrano (from friend and long time customer and a few habaneros and Carolina Reapers.
Tillamook extra sharp cheddar comes through so well, the garlic is garlicky, and the texture is perfect. Thicker than our standard tortillas, for a hearty bite in every bite.
Available Saturday morning starting at 7am
Pre-Order is open until 5pm tonight (Friday) for pickup any time during the market tomorrow, just click the link in my bio, and hit the pre-order button. Easy Squeezy! (Hot and Cheesy!)
Jessica and I had the pleasure of taking an amazing trip to Greece and Morocco in March, and now I get to share a little with you!
I'm working on a reel with tons of pictures, but Instagram is being temperamental this morning, so that will have to wait.
I brought back freshly picked Medjool dates from Morocco that we found in the middle of a crazy market. It was off the beaten path, and definitely not one the tourists frequented, but we found it! All I wanted were dates, but I was *this close* to being coerced into buying a tuktuk, shoes made from the finest camel, and a bicycle.
*THIS CLOSE*
And when we were in Greece, we found a 3rd generation family owned olive orchard and mill, and after doing a tasting, and meeting the owner and his daughter, we were sold. I decided I needed to bring home a case of delicious extra virgin. It took a month, a stay in customs, and some super awesome tariff charges, but it finally arrived!
And because dates and olive oil could always use a touch of sweetness, I picked up some amazing Mesquite Blossom honey from right here in Arizona.
And to give you a taste of our travels, I mixed all 3 in a flour tortilla, made with mostly Heritage Grain White Sonora, grown and stone milled right here in Arizona by
You could call this tortilla the "World Traveler". Or maybe "Sweet and Sandy Greek". I don't know, maybe I'll stick with Sweet Memories.
Because of limited ingredients, this is a single batch, and will be by request only, for you fine folks who follow along on our crazy journeys, and only at the on Saturday morning. 36 packs, so if you want to buy one, don't sleep in too late.
So let's get to it!
The Hot and Cheesy Garlic Squeezy!
A lively pepper blend from my farmer buddy Bill up in Sunflower, including Hungarian Hot Wax peppers, habaneros, and a few Serrano peppers from that LIT ME UP alongside Tillamook extra sharp cheddar, and garlic. It's pretty much the Jalapeño Cheddar Garlic, but different peppers. You'll like the way it tastes, I guarantee it. (First person to tell me who makes that guarantee gets a free pack)
The next two are only available at the Gilbert Market!!
Really Really Flat Zucchini Bread!
Organically grown zucchini, organic brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and vanilla in a delicious flour tortilla. This is one of my favorite ones to eat with just a little butter and a sprinkle of salt.
And for my corny folks...
Cilantro lime blue corn!
It's been a hot minute since I've made this one, so I think it's time. Organic cilantro, organic lime juice, and blue corn that turns purple under the acidic influence of the lime juice. It's delicious. It's beautiful. It's purple.
And I'm working on a little something something to commemorate the trip my wife and I took to Greece and Morocco. I brought back a few gallons of amazing Greek olive oil, and a bunch of Moroccan dates, and I think it's fitting that I share them with you! Stay tuned on that one.
Want to pre-order for Saturday and skip the line, and not have to wake up so early? Click the link in my bio, or head to for a full list of what we're making, and you can pick and choose sizes and flavors, and I'll have them bagged and tagged and waiting for at the Gilbert Market from 7-11am.
See you when I see you!
I believe this is the 4th round of Bake and Take, and I'm honored to be among some incredible bakers. We brought packs of our FLATKNOT Cheesy Garlic Knot tortillas, and made a delicious green chile blue corn bread with Oaxaca cheese, and a Mole Negro honey butter to top them.
Stay tuned for the next round! This round sold out completely, and quickly, so when we announce the next event, make sure you jump on it!
How about a proper FAQ here for all the new folks and old friends alike?
"Why do you say "Oh hey guys?" Are you from Minnesota?"
No! Born and raised in Tucson, I'm a desert rat. I got really irritated by the hundreds of IG folks starting off every video with "it's been a while since I've shown my face, and I'm so sorry I've been absent! I just wanted to jump on here and tell you about my toe cramp that I had on Tuesday!"
I figured I'd just cut to the chase.
"Why don't you come to Scottsdale\Phoenix\West Valley\Fountain Hills market? We would totally buy your tortillas!"
I appreciate the love and interest! BBT has been at the for 13 years now, 5 under Ben (the chef that started the company) and 8 under me. I found that consistency gave us the best shot at building a solid, reliable customer base. And it works. We've gone from 1,000 tortillas a week 8 years ago to 15-18k now. And by midday Saturday, I'm out. No más. We have 12 retail locations around the state (10 in the valley), plus FarmBox that delivers. Hit the link in bio for a full list.
"YOUR NAME ISN'T BENNY?"
Nope! It's Christopher. Mucho gusto en conocerlos. When I bought BBT from Ben, I couldn't come up with anything better, so I kept the name Benny Blanco Tortillas.
"You speak Spanish?"
Poorly. Estoy aprendiendo. My grandparents, and my mom and her siblings all speak it perfectly. But my generation mostly skipped out. I'm trying very hard to rectify that.
"Why are you only open on Thursdays at the AJ store? Must be nice to just work one day!"
I wish! With 13 years of operation under our belts, we've got a good book of business on the wholesale side. 20ish customers that order on the weekly. We cook and deliver M-W for them, Thursday is for our local AJ folks, and Friday is cooking for the Gilbert Farmers Market on Saturday morning. I run 6 days a week to fill your belly.
Let me know what else is on your mind! Your burning questions, your hidden curiosities.
And I'll see you tomorrow morning (Saturday) at the Gilbert Farmers Market 7-11 am, at the Chandler Gilbert Community College campus on Gilbert and Pecos!
Thanks to everyone who came out for Quesadillas and Coffee with us, and for the Cheese Crawl 2026! We had a blast cooking for you all, and meeting so many new people.
We were starting to see the summer slow down at the storefront, and last week was a touch worrisome, but yesterday you guys gave us one of our best sales days so far this year! (Top 3!)
So thanks for always supporting our crazy collaborations, and being such awesome customers and friends. We couldn't do any of this without you guys showing up!
THE FLATKNOT!
Butter, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, garlic, more butter, and chile flakes in a delicious heritage grain blend of flour. It's my take on the ubiquitous Cheesy Garlic Knot, and it's DELICIOUS.
Grab a pack today (Thursday June 4th) in store, along with a hot latte from and a quesadilla from me and!
Or, if you have a regular person's schedule and can't come between 11 and 1 today, we will be at the on Saturday, with this recipe, and more!
And at the end of the week, the creation from my kitchen ends up on your dinner table to nourish you. To perhaps bring back a memory, of a time or place, or if you're really lucky, a person who is no longer with you.
Food is more than calories. It's our connection to each other, to our past, and if we do it right, our future.
Thanks for joining us on this journey. I couldn't do it without you.
(Special thanks to for teaching me to love shadows in my photography)
In a nutshell, people are hungry, we make food, seems like a nice pairing. And with the holidays coming up, and all the financial stress straining the budget even more, it seems like a good time to send out a reminder.
If you're struggling to make ends meet, and put good food on the table for your family, let us help. Going to that Thanksgiving dinner with the family and got asked to bring something but you just can't quite swing it? Let us help.
Thursdays in our AJ store front, any Saturday at the Gilbert Farmers Market, even online for pre-order. If you're in person, just mention a porcupine. It's like a code word. You can ask about the porcupine tortillas. You can say you saw porcupine on the drive-in in the morning. You can mention how your dog got slapped in the face by a porcupine one time because they're such little pricks. Either way, we will get the memo. And your tortillas are on us.
Obviously we ask that you don't abuse the system. But for the 5 years we've been doing it, nobody has done so. My preference is that it's used for traditional tortillas and not specialties.
Other than that, let us know if we can help. I know a pack of tortillas doesn't pay the bills, and it doesn't feed your family for a week, but tacos and fajitas are a nice way to stretch a piece of protein, or get some extra calories in the diet.
If you wish to use it for pre-order, there is a $0.50 charge because my system makes me charge something to make the order go through. But just put in the notes what you would like us to put in your bag and it'll be bagged up just like everybody else's. No means testing. No awkwardness. Just doing what we can to help out.
Feel free to send this to anybody that you know might need a hand as well. Thanks!
(See what I did there?)
This is estilo Sonora. This is the hallmark of traditional methods, simple ingredients, and a commitment to authenticity.
Flour. Salt. Lard. Water.
(We make tortillas without lard for those who don't eat pork, and tortillas without flour for those who don't eat gluten. The salt and water are non negotiable though.)
