[Carlawarla 1]

i have been watching and trying some of your recipes here and all sound so good so how about a okie special you can try. Seems there isnt much Mexican you guys try so how about this one i got off the radio this morning few of us are GOING to try havent yet

Okie's Beefy Fiesta Cheesecake

6/18/2008

Serves 8

Pam Spray

1 Packages Cream Cheese softened

1/2 Cup Sour Cream

1 Pkg. Taco Seasoning (Williams brand used)

2 Eggs

5 Corn tortilia's

1 Cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

2 Cups cooked shredded beef ( Can use precooked roast or beef tips)

1 Small 4 oz. can chopped green chilies( do not drain)

1 T. Chopped Jalapeno Peppers (from a jar pickled)

1/2 Cup chopped green onions

Garnish and topping

1/2 Cup Nacho flavored Dorito's crushed

1 Package Pre-packaged Guacamole or make fresh

Remaining 1/4 chopped green onions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pan. I used a 9 in spring form round pan, but any 9 in. pan will work

Tear the corn tortilia's into pieces covering the bottom of the pan. Give the tortilia's a spray of Pam, to give a light coating.

Mix the cream cheese, 2 eggs, sour cream and package of taco seasoning until well blended and smooth.

Stir in 1/2 of the grated cheddar cheese reserving the remaining for the topping, shredded beef, chopped green chilies, and jalapeno peppers. Only use 1/2 of the green onions into this mixture. You are reserving the remaining for the garnish. Do not mix this step with the mixer. Stir until well blended.

Bake for 45 min. to 50 min. Mixutre will not giggle when done.

Remove cheesecake and while hot, sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over the top to melt. Sprinkle remaining green onions over the top. Followed by desired garnish. I serve ours with the Crushed Dorito's and 1 to 2 T. Guacamole.

Let stand 15 min before cutting and serving.

Sprinkle crushed Dorito's over the top, followed by 1 or 2 T. of Guacamole.

The chips will soften if left on for a length of time, so I recommend putting them on before serving, as with the Guacamole.

Thanks for the recipe! I make "Mexican" food about twice a month. We eat mexican food outside the home at only authentic Mexican restaurants, and I've yet to duplicate that at home! Always looking for good Mexican recipes.

are you kidding?? I (L) cream corn.. I sometimes eat a spoonful or two cold if I am opening a can... mmm yum...

i decided against beef goulash and instead we are going to have hamburgers and curly fries and corn on the cob...

Tonight we will just have the good ole grilled cheese. It's hot and no one feels like cooking and we aren't all the hungry anyway

I'm not fussy about Mexican food either although we have it fairly often because Joe likes it. "Real" Mexican food is definitely better than the Tex-Mex often served. Indian and Thai seem to be my favourites right now:-).

Tonight we are having sirloin beef tips over wide noodles, corn on the cob and a tomato/cucumber salad made from our own tomatoes and cucumbers - fresh picked!
