Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless raw chicken breasts

Step 4: Shred the chicken breasts using two forks.
Step 5: Add in the strip-cut tortillas and stir until well combined.
Step 6: Add in ½ cup of cheese and olives. Stir until well combined.

You can use flour tortillas but the texture may be a little soggy.
I advise you to use corn tortillas instead.
