Put a slow cooker liner in the base of the slow cooker for easy clean up.
Place all pulled chicken ingredients into the crock of a slow cooker. Stir; cook on High for 3 hours.
While chicken is cooking, prepare the mango salsa:
In a bowl, toss together all salsa ingredients; place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
When the chicken is done, shred with 2 forks; stir chicken into the sauce; cover; let sit for 10 minutes.
Assemble lettuce wraps, top with mango salsa and other desired toppings, like avocado and tomato.

*The juice from the chicken is delicious, but makes the lettuce wraps a bit messy. You might want to strain a little when assembling.
