For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the chicken before shredding it. Feel free to adjust the amount of picante sauce and chili powder to control the spiciness. Add other vegetables like zucchini, yellow squash, or additional peppers for a heartier casserole. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly toast them before layering them in the casserole. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a scoop of guacamole, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added freshness.
