For a spicier kick, use hot-style diced tomatoes with green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses, such as cheddar, Colby Jack, or a Mexican blend.
If you don't have corn tortillas, you can use flour tortillas instead.
To make this dish ahead of time, assemble the casserole and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
