Great appetizer for parties. Good with tortilla chips or veggies like celery.
Let cream cheese come to room temperature.
Meanwhile, dump the salsa and chilis into a strainer and strain off excess liquid.
With electric mixer, beat cream cheese and shredded jack cheese until light and fluffy.
Beat in one cup of sour cream. Add eggs and beat on low speed until combined. Mix in salsa and chilis. Pour into a greased 9-inch spring-form pan.
Place pan on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Remove from oven and immediately spread remaining cup of sour cream over top of cake. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Carefully run knife around edge to loosen. Let cool one hour more. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Remove edges of spring-form pan. Garnish with guacamole and chopped tomato. Serve with tortilla chips.
(Draining the salsa helps keep the cake from being too soggy.)

Made this last night for a New Year’s Eve party. I think I beat the cream cheese too long because the cake came out light and fluffy (more of a souffle) instead of dense, like regular cheesecake.
I’ll refine my cooking skills and make it again! Loved the flavor – I snipped fresh cilantro and garnished with that in addition to the chopped tomato. I’m one of those people who think cilantro goes with everything!

forgot to mention that the cream cheese really, um, dilutes the heat of the salsa. so if you like it spicy you will want to use hot salsa. otherwise, you won’t get the heat at all. sometimes, if all i have is mild salsa, i will add some chopped, pickled jalapenos.
