For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans to the chicken mixture. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet before assembling the casserole. Feel free to substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with cheddar, Colby Jack, or a Mexican blend for a different flavor profile. If you like a spicier casserole, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. This casserole is also great with leftover shredded rotisserie chicken.
