This recipe sounds SO goooood I (Tammy) just had to share! I haven't made it yet, but plan on it real soon - if you make it let me know how good it is :0)
CHILE CHEESECAKE
2 to 3 cups crushed tortilla chips (about 1 bag)
4 tblsp melted butter
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese at room temp
3 medium eggs
8 ozs pepper jack cheese, grated
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup pico de gallo, drained
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9 inch springform pan with Pam.
Crush the chips using the metal blade of a food processor, or put them in a zip-loc bag and use the flat edge of a wooden spoon to crush them. Transfer to a bowl and toss with melted butter. Spread in the prepared springform pan. Bake at 325F for 10 to 12 minutes. This can be done in advance.
Place cream cheese in a fodd processor with the metal blade, and process until smooth. Add eggs and pepper jack cheese and mix in completely. Mound in large spoonfuls over the chip crust and spread carefully to distribute evenly. Bake at 325F for 25 minutes.
Remove and cool 6 to 8 minutes, then spread with sour cream and top with drained pico de gallo. Garnish with a mound of cheddar cheese.
Makes 8 to 10 servings. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers or on small plates.

Man, that does sound good but they really shouldn't call it chile "cheesecake" - especially when the recipe starts out with tortilla chips and has chile in front of cheesecake. Make it sometime and I'll be an official taste tester!
