Homemade chicken soft tacos!

My children LOVE Del Taco's chicken soft tacos, two children with no lettuce. The tacos are fairly inexpensive but now all four seem to require 3-4 tacos each in order to be full. So today I made it my mission to find out what the "secret white sauce" is that Del Taco puts on their chicken soft tacos. I googled and searched earlier this morning and found that you could mix mayo and sour cream to have a taste similar to the "secret white sauce". I am sure Del Taco does have a secret to their recipe but I was willing to try the mayo/sour cream mix.
So here is the recipe I used today to get a smile from my most discerning young palette:
flour tortillas
equal parts of mayo and sour cream
chicken that was cooked in the crock pot all day in green enchilada sauce
shredded cheese
Actually, all four said my chicken soft tacos were pretty darn close to those sold up the street.
*** Update December 18, 2009 ***
Last night I went through Del Tacos drive thru and before leaving, I asked if the "secret white sauce" was really secret. The workers laughed and said she didn't think so but she didn't know what was in it other than it was a mayonaise based product. Just thought I would share. If you find out more, please leave a message!

Awesome! Thank you I'm headed to the store now! Thanks alot!
i am looking for the recipe now after trying the mayo and sourcream before i saw your site. i thought it would be closer than it was. however, i think they use the chicken drippings with the spicey marinade and use mayo and sour cream. maybe even msg. it may be closer with a crockpot.
