For a spicier kick, add more jalapeno, cayenne pepper, or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the chicken mixture. Feel free to substitute the pepperjack cheese with cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend for a different flavor profile. To make ahead, prepare the chicken mixture and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat before serving over the tortilla chips. Garnish with additional toppings such as sliced black olives, green onions, or a dollop of guacamole for added flavor and texture.
