For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a packet of taco seasoning to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cream cheese until it is completely smooth before adding it to the saucepan. Adjust the amount of green chilies and diced tomatoes to your preferred level of spiciness. Serve with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and extra cilantro.
