For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly drained to prevent soggy taco shells. For added flavor, consider using rotisserie chicken breast instead of canned chicken.
