For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the chicken mixture. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend would work well. To prevent the tortillas from tearing, avoid overfilling them.
