Instructions

1. Place all of the pulled chicken ingredients into the insert of your slow cooker. Mix to combine flavors, then put on high for 3 hours.
2. While it’s cooking, prepare the mango salsa: In a bowl toss together all ingredients and set aside in the refrigerator until ready to use.

The juice from the chicken is delicious but makes the lettuce wraps a tad messy if you don’t slightly strain when assembling.
