3. Add chicken, cheeses, beans, and chopped bell pepper to one side of the open tortilla. Sprinkle over with cilantro. Once you pack in the ingredients, fold the empty part of the tortilla over the other half so that it easily closes. Gently mash down on it once you fold it over in order to pack in the ingredients.
