1. Prepare Ingredients: Shred the cooked chicken and slice the bell peppers and onions if using.
2. Season Chicken: In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with taco seasoning until well-coated.
3. Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4. Cook Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the skillet, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
