Mexican Style Cheescake

I'm trying to find a recipe that corresponds to the wonderful Mexican-style cheesecake I had this morning. (I'm actually assuming it's Mexican-style, given that the bakery was Mexican.)

The recipes I've found on line didn't seem to include flour. Could they possibly be right?

Attaching an image below that looks more or less like what I ate.

Thanks.

    Sounds like you're looking for Sopapilla Cheesecake recipe... maybe?

      In my experience, while some cheese cake recipes include some small amount of either flour or corn starch, what you have pictures looks to be heavily influenced by flour as an ingredient.
      See if there's anything on this page that gives you a clue to the result you're seeking.

      Perhaps it was closer to a cream cheese pound cake:
