For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, use mild green chiles or reduce the amount of hot green chile salsa. Feel free to substitute with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or cheddar, to suit your taste preferences. To prevent tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly toast them before layering.
