For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sour cream mixture. Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese blend. Shredded rotisserie chicken makes a great shortcut for this recipe. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Serve with your favorite toppings such as chopped cilantro, avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.
