List of Ingredients




1 1/3 cups finely crushed tortilla chips
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons minced scallions
1 1/2 cups finely shredded cooked chicken
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles, drained

Recipe



Combine tortilla chips and butter; press on bottom and 1 inch up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Beat cream cheese at high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chili powder and next 3 ingredients.
Pour half of cream cheese mixture into prepared pan. Sprinkle with chicken, chiles and cheese; carefully pour remaining cream cheese mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 300 degrees F and bake an additional hour or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Combine sour cream and seasoned salt, stirring well; spread evenly on top of cheesecake. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Garnish, if desired, and serve with fresh salsa.
