Mexican Cheesecake Ole' image

This makes for a festive presentation but it can be baked in a regular baking dish and sliced from there. It's firm enough to use as appetizers too, that will increase the servings. Prep time doesn't include 4 hours chill time. My son just slices it, heats a corn tortilla and fills it with the chilled mix, eat and run kinda kid.
