Steps:
- Place chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Pour in cool water until chicken is covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Discard poaching liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add shredded chicken, olives, chiles, water, and taco seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add Mexican cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas on a griddle over medium-high heat until soft, about 10 seconds per side. Add chicken filling to each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are brown, about 30 minutes.

SHREDDED CHICKEN AND CHEESE
The mighty sandwich and all its glorious but redundant fillers. This sandwich is not only gourmet (so its awesome when you are trying to impress) but super easy and very different then your common ham and cheese! If you do intend on making this as a host(ess) it pairs lovely with a Reisling or Pinot Grigio. If individual focaccia buns cannot be found in your local grocery purchase the loaf of focaccia or semolina and toast both sides of the slices on the stove top to provide the crunch without making the bread hard. Also, I know that sun dried tomatoes in oil can be expensive (at least here in America) but I often find that purchasing the sun dried tomatoes themselves are cheaper so I generally with purchase a package (4 to 6 oz) place them in a mason jar and fill it up with good quality olive oil. Quality of olive oil is not based on price and find myself enjoying a 32oz bottle that cost $8 and comes with an attachable spout from Trader Joe's.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, organic chicken and cheese, and use a flavorful salsa.
- Shred the chicken yourself for the best texture. Pre-shredded chicken can be dry and tough.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
- Use a variety of cheeses for a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella.
- Add your desired toppings before baking. This could include salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or Pico de Gallo.
- Serve the shredded chicken and cheese immediately, or it will start to get soggy.
