For a spicier kick, use hot diced green chiles. To make ahead, assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. Other cheeses can be used. Cheddar, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican blend would all be delicious substitutes for Monterey Jack. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or salsa for added flavor.
