Looking for a good shredded chicken recipe

Title pretty much says it all! There was a place called Gordito Burrito at one of the local Indian Casinos that had a great shredded chicken taco salad, lots of flavor little salt and very little cumin powder (me and it don't get along when its heavily used) Been craving that chicken taco salad for awhile... so was wondering if anyone has one or maybe heard of the place and knows the recipe. :flowerforyou:

Another thing you could try would be to go on the internet, type in the name of the restaurant and the salad, and see if anyone has posted a "copy cat" recipe.
