- To assemble Tacos
- Remove 1/2 a cup of cilantro lime sauce and toss with shredded green cabbage to combine.
- Brush tortillas with olive oil and grill on stovetop until slightly charred. Or warm in microwave.
- Fill tortillas with shrimp, a generous serving of the slaw, and fresh avocado.
- Drizzle with sauce on top and serve with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
- Enjoy!
