Add the lime juice, season with salt and mix well. 2) Prepare the guacamole: Scoop the avocado into a bowl and mash until creamy but still slightly chunky. Add the lime juice, red onion and Scotch bonnet pepper, then season with salt to taste.

3) Make the creamy sauce: Mix the mayonnaise with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and hot sauce to taste. 4) Prepare the chicken: Prepare the crispy fried chicken according to my fried chicken recipe. Once cooked, cut or break the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Drizzle with the creamy sauce and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve immediately while the chicken and taco shells are crisp.
