Method: 

Scrub potatoes; pat dry. Lightly prick all over with a fork or knife point. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until tender.

Cook pepper and onion in butter in a medium saucepan until tender. Add taco seasoning mix. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Stir in chicken, cheeses, olives, and chiles.

Cut a lengthwise slit in top of each potato. Hold potato lengthwise between palms and press potato open. Fluff inside with a fork; spoon chicken mixture into potatoes. Spoon 1/4 cup salsa over each potato. If desired, serve with sour cream, guacamole, jalapeños, and additional salsa.
