For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the chicken filling. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference for heat. Use freshly shredded Cheddar cheese for best melting and flavor. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a side of Mexican rice.
