3. Pat dry each chicken breast and cover both sides with taco seasoning. Leave about 1/2 a tablespoon left over for the sauce.
4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to your skillet and heat on medium. Place both chicken breast on the skillet and cook thoroughly on both side. You want the chicken to be cooked all the way through. About 5- 8 minutes on both sides. Once done set aside to cool.

9. Take two forks and shred the chicken.
10. Add the chicken, sauted bell peppers, sauted garlic, chopped cilantro, 1/2 of the chopped green onion, and 3/4 of the cheese into the bowl and mix well.
11. Add the chicken mix on top of the three corn tortillas in the skillet.
