Mexican Appetizer Cheesecake
Do you adore Mexican food as much as I do? If so it’s time to…
whirl and twirl…
pull out your pinata…
dust off your maracas…
and bake a Mexican Cheesecake!
With a mixer, combine softened cream cheese, instant chicken bouillon, chili powder, hot pepper sauce, and mix until smooth. Add the eggs, hot water, and mix well. Stir in the chicken and chilies. Pour mixture into a 9″ springform pan. Bake at 325 degrees, for 30 minutes, till cheesecake is set. Depending on your oven it could take an additional 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the inside of the pan. Carefully remove the side of the pan.
Line a platter with curly kale and slide cheesecake onto it. Top with sliced avocado, salsa, chopped green onion, grated cheddar cheese, sliced black olives, and sour cream. Whatever you have and prefer is mucho perfecto!
Serve with gusto…the hit of your fiesta, I promise!

I have two sisters-in-law of Hispanic descent and one taught me long ago how to cook Mexican food. I love authentic Mexican cuisine. I even make my own tortillas from scratch. Yum. Yes indeed, I LOVE MEXICAN food.
