- May be done several days ahead.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Brush the inside of a 9-inch springform pan with melted butter and carefully coat with tortilla crumbs.
- Tap out excess and reserve for topping.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer or food processor, beat together the cheeses, sour cream, garlic, jalapenos, salsa, tomato paste, salt, pepper and eggs.
- Beat until smooth.
- Fold in the cilantro and beaten egg whites.
- Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle top evenly with remaining tortilla crumbs.
- Wrap bottom of pan in heavy aluminum foil to prevent leaking.
- Place pan inside a larger pan and pour in enough hot water to come up 1 inch.
- Bake for 70 minutes.
- Test center with a knife, which should come out clean.
- Cool in oven with door ajar.
- Remove sides from pan, but leave cake on the pan bottom.
- Place on platter.
- Surround with watercress.
- Place a bouquet of watercress on center of the cake.
- Garnish with crescents of avocado.
- Cut into wedges and serve with tomato salsa on the side.
- The cheesecake is best not refrigerated, so ideally, it should come out of the oven about 2 hours before serving time.
