For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn to the sour cream and salsa mixture. If you're short on time, you can use pre-shredded cheese or prepared salsa. To prevent the chicken from drying out, consider using a meat thermometer to ensure it's cooked to the perfect internal temperature. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or a Mexican cheese blend.
