Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even warming of the taco shells.
Place the taco shells on a baking sheet and set aside.
Use a baking sheet to keep the taco shells upright.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and diced bell pepper until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Add the shredded chicken and taco seasoning to the skillet, along with 1/2 cup of water. Stir to combine.
Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
While the filling simmers, bake the taco shells in the oven for 5 minutes until warm and crispy.
Keep an eye on the shells to avoid over-browning.

Layer the toppings for a visually appealing presentation.
