For these Spicy Cajun Griddle Chicken Tacos, we tend to keep things simple and only top with minimal toppings. This is mostly to make sure the Cajun spice comes through enough.
If you like things less spicy, use less seasoning and if you like them even spicier, load them up with chopped peppers with a bit more heat.
