**Freshly shredded always tastes and melts better. If you have a food processor, it will shred a block in just a few seconds and you can store unused shredded cheese in a baggy or dish with a lid.
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add green onions and yellow onion. Sauté 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken, tomato, garlic, chili powder, salt, cumin, cilantro and cook until chicken is browned.
Add broth, cornmeal and beans. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat.
