Reserve small amount of chicken mixture for top and cover with remaining cheese.

My family really likes spicy food so I add plenty of red pepper and either fresh jalapenos or jarred jalapenos.

Fresh cilantro is also good in this when I have it on hand.
10
Also, right before I remove the casserole I like to turn on the broiler and get the cheese nice and brown.
11
The filling can be made in advance to save time.
12
Just increase baking time to ensure casserole is heated throughout if filling has been in refrigerator.
