Customization & Variations
You can easily adapt these Queso Chicken Enchiladas to suit your pantry or preferences. Feel free to swap the shredded chicken for ground beef or a plant-based crumble if you prefer.

If you like a little more heat, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture.
