Instructions

    1. In a bowl, stir mayonnaise with yogurt, lime juice, garlic, salt and cayenne. Grease grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high.

    4. To assemble, warm shells, then add chicken to shells, drizzle with a bit of remaining mayo mixture and hot sauce, if using. Then top with slaw.
Notes

*If barbecue is not available, sauté chicken fillets, turning once, in a large saucepan with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil until cooked through (approx. 6 to 8 mins. depending on thickness of chicken).
