For a spicier dish, use hot chorizo or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Feel free to substitute shredded cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican cheese blend for the Monterey Jack. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt makes a great substitute. To prevent the chips from getting soggy, you can lightly toast them in the oven before assembling the casserole. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.
