CHICKEN TACO CHEESECAKE
Found this several years ago I believe in Southern Living Cookbook. Made it last year for a cook off at my work and won 1st place. The presentation is impressive when you place the toppings in a circle around the cheesecake. I usually start with a center mound of picante and add other toppings around this. Not as hard as it sounds.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will be. This means using fresh chicken, real cheese, and a good quality taco seasoning mix.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Undercooked chicken can be dangerous, so make sure it is cooked through before adding it to the cheesecake.
- Don't overmix the cheesecake batter: Overmixing can make the cheesecake dense and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving: This will help the cheesecake to set properly.
