Directions:Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Stir together the crushed tortilla chips and melted butter. Press chips into the bottom of a 9" springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly. While crust is baking, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until it crumbles and is no longer pink. Drain grease from beef. Then add taco seasoning to beef and reserve 1 Tbsp of taco seasoning for later. Add 2 Tbsp of water and cook over medium heat until liquid evaporates. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time & stir. Add reserved tbsp of taco mix and beat until blended. Add the cheddar cheese, green chilies and mix thoroughly. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Spoon beef mixture in center & evenly distribute in pan. Then spread cream cheese from around the sides of pan over beef, forming a 1" border.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream & flour and spread over top of cheesecake. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Serve warm with lettuce and tomato. |
