1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Prepare the Tacos: Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
Assemble Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla and top with shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Serve: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the tacos and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
