For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chicken seasoning. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite vegetables, such as corn or black beans. If you prefer a spicier enchilada, use a hotter enchilada sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
