For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cumin or chili powder to the chicken mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, use pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the skillet before frying the tortillas. Feel free to add your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, or chopped cilantro.
