Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Stir tortilla chips and butter together in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

  4. Remove crust from oven, leaving oven on. Cool on a wire rack.

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook, stirring, until crumbly and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard grease. Pat beef dry with paper towels and return to the skillet.

  6. Reserve 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix. Stir remaining taco seasoning and salsa into beef. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates, about 5 minutes.

  8. Combine sour cream and flour in a bowl, spread over cheesecake.

  9. Bake in the hot oven for 25 minutes.

  10. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and release sides of pan.
