For a spicier kick, use a hot enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or corn, to customize your casserole. To prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy, lightly toast them in a dry skillet before layering. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema, chopped fresh cilantro, and sliced green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
