Mango Salsa Chicken Burritos

1 container mango salsa (from costco)
2-4 ish cans refried beans (depends on how many people you are feeding)
1 breast of chicken per however many people are eating
tortillas
toppings (lettuce, avocado, green onion etc)


The container of mango salsa will be enough for approx 8 breasts of chicken (ish). I made it with four and dumped the whole thing in. It was good but I could have stretched the mango salsa a lot. If you don't use all the mango salsa in the chicken, you can add a dab to your burrito at the end, it makes it even sweeter.

Add mango salsa and chicken breasts to the crockpot. Cook on high 4 hours.
Once chicken is done, shred it and put it in the tortilla with the refried beans and whatever toppings you like.

This is so easy and tasty, Im sure it will be a regular at your houses!
