<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of water towards the end to keep the chicken moist. Remove from heat and set aside.

<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the soft flatbreads on a baking sheet. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on each flatbread, then gently lay a crispy corn taco shell on top of each. Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Carefully spoon the cooked ground chicken into the crispy taco shells. Add diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce on top of the chicken.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Drizzle sour cream over the top of the lettuce. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Carefully fold the edges of the soft flatbreads over the crispy taco shell, pressing slightly to adhere the two together with the melted cheese.

<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Return the filled flatbreads to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is warm and the cheese is gooey.

<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
