Gina, this one is super yummy! The meat is really easy, but the dressing takes a little work. It's worth it though. Lydia and I love the dressing on a green salad too.
Cafe Rio Sweet Chicken
4 lbs boneless skinless Chicken
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup salsa
1 can cola beverage or root beer
Put everything into the crock pot for 8 hours on low. Remove meat and shred. Skim fat off juices. Put meat back into crock pot and let juices absorb into meat. Works well to make ahead and freeze.
Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch Dressing
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
3 T Salsa Verde or green chills
1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
1/2 bunch cilantro (fresh)
2-3 small cloves garlic
3/4 cup mayo
2/3 cup sour cream
Grated lime peel and juice from one lime
Buttermilk to thin to correct consistency
Place all ingredients into blender and mix until smooth.
Assembly for Salad or tacos:
lettuce
chicken
purple onion
corn
diced tomatoes
fresh cilantro chopped
cheese guacamole or avocados chopped
sour cream
salsa
cilantro dressing
serve over tortilla chips or flour tortillas
Can also substitute chicken for pork.

I cooked this meal for dinner tonight. It was a big hit. Both Bryan and I went back for seconds and thirds (the 2nd and thirds were eaten after 9:00pm. The sauce is addicting. I did have a slight blow- up with the blender while making the sauce. Well worth it though.
