Ingredients for Burritos:

• shredded lettuce for serving (optional)
• sour cream for serving (optional)

 DIRECTIONS

1. Spray a small slow cooker with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Put beans, diced sweet potatoes, corn, vegetable stock, lime juice, and spices into the slow cooker.
3. Cook on high for 3 hours, or until potatoes are tender. (I will often steam them a bit ahead of time to speed up the cooking process, about 10 minutes of steaming).
4. Assemble burritos and add toppings as wanted. Enjoy!
