For a smoky depth, consider using fire-roasted tomatoes in your sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend. Garnish generously with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or a sprinkle of cotija cheese. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with black beans, corn, and sweet potatoes.
