  • Make a delicious lime mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic powder to make a creamy and flavorful sauce for your tacos.
  • Assemble the tacos: Fill each taco shell with chicken, lime mayonnaise, cabbage, and any other desired toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
