- Grease the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan; line the side with parchment paper.

- Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground tortilla chips, flour and butter; press into the prepared pan.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy; beat in the eggs, one at a time.
- Beat in the lime juice, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and hot pepper sauce; blend in the sour cream.
- Pour over the base.
- Set the springform pan into a larger pan; pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come 1 inch up the side.
- Bake in the centre of a 325F oven until the edge is set but the centre still jiggles slightly, about 35 minutes.
- Run a hot wet knife around the inside of the pan.
- Turn the oven off.
- Let stand in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove from the water and transfer to a rack; remove the foil and let cool.
- Cover and refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- For the salsa, stir the tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, coriander, lime juice, salt, pepper, and hot pepper sauce together in a medium bowl.
- Using a slotted spoon, spoon the salsa over the cheesecake.
- Serve with additional tortilla chips.
