Cafe Rio Sweet Chicken

I got this recipe from this blogspot: http://life-should-be-delicious.blogspot.com

4 Pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken
1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Salsa
1 Can Cola Beverage or Root Beer

Put everything in crockpot for 8 hours on low. Remove meat and shred. Skim fat off juices. Put meat back in crockpot and let juices absorb into meat. Works well to make ahead and freeze.

Cafe Rio Cilantro Ranch Dressing
1 Package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
3 Tablespoons Salsa Verde or Green Chilies
1/2 Teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
1/2 Bunch Fresh Cilantro
2-3 Small Cloves of Garlic
3/4 Cup Mayonnaise
2/3 Cup Sour Cream
Grated Lime Peel and Juice from One Lime
Buttermilk to Thin to Correct Consistency

Place all dressing ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Assembly for Tacos or Salad:
Lettuce
Chicken
Purple Onion
Corn
Diced Tomatoes
Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
Grated Cheese
Guacamole
Sour Cream
Salsa
Cilantro Ranch Dressing

Serve over tortilla chips or flour tortillas. You can also substitute pork for chicken.
