Chevy's-style Chicken Soft Tacos

It was my great pleasure to learn earlier this week that Chevy's salsa is now available in a quart-sized two-pack at Costco. I had been thinking about trying to replicate their chicken soft tacos at home, but I haven't had the time and patience to make an extra trip to pick up a pint & a lb. (Chevy's-speak for a pint of salsa and a pound of chips.) So I grabbed the Chevy's salsa two-pack and planned a winning post-run meal for Thursday. (Our family celebrated Thanksgiving on Friday this year, leaving Thursday as a good day for a long run.)

Ingredients
3 chicken breasts
1 pint Chevy's fire roasted salsa, plus more for serving
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
8" tortillas

Preparation
Place chicken breasts in a single layer on the bottom of a slow cooker. Cover liberally with about 1 pint salsa, letting salsa run between chicken pieces. Cook on low for 6 to 6.5 hours.

Warm tortillas. Serve chicken and lettuce in a tortilla with additional salsa to taste. Double tortillas if using corn.

We've gotten three meals for two people (about 6-8 tacos) so far, with about one meal left. One thing I'll try differently next time is to let the chicken marinate in the salsa for a few hours or even overnight.
