Join the discussionGreat recipe!!! It’s so to the point, I love recipes like this, there so simple, but at the same time very powerful as far as the flavor is concerned.
MMMM. This sounds awesome, Kelly!
This sounds so yummy! Can u buy fire roasted diced tomatoes or do u fire roast them yourself? Not to be dumb, just haven’t seen them before. Can’t wait to try this. I love this website & getting new recipes!! Thanks!
Kristin, you can buy them they are pretty readily available in the canned section in most stores now. If you can’t find them regular diced is just fine! In fact I used fresh in my last batch.
Hi Kelly,
What a great Mexican Stew. I love your combination of Pork and Sweet Potatoes. This would be delicious. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come back soon!

Do you freeze the veggies, meat,etc. raw or precooked? Do you thaw before putting in the crock pot?
You freeze it all raw and then dump it into the crockpot frozen.
I just made this for dinner last night and am enjoying the leftovers for lunch today. Tasty!
this looks so delicious – the words pork & sweet potato leapt out at me. I have to avoid tomatoes but it should still be a winner.
I want to make this for a frozen dinner exchange party, but one of the attendants doesn’t have a slow cooker. Is there any way to cook it in a regular oven??
You could cook it in a dutch oven on a stove top.
Hello,Are the diced green chiles canned or fresh? If they are fresh are they deseeded? This sounds delicious! I plan to make it for a swap in the fall.Colleen
You can use either. I use canned when I don’t have access to fresh. But I use fresh in the summer months. I sometimes leave the seeds in if I want the heat. But you most certainly can leave them out.
Made this once with pork and it was delish! Had a craving for beef, so I’m trying that tonight. I think it should work well, here’s to experimenting! 🙂
Let me know how it goes!
I absolutely love this dish. Because my kids were eating as well, i only used 1 4oz can of mild green chilies and added a little more sweet potato. I forgot adding the lime at the end and it was still amazing! This is a repeat. Thanks
So glad your family enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing!
Has anyone done this with chicken? How did it turn out?
I think it sounds delicious with chicken. I have made another recipe similar involving both chicken and sweet potatoes where both the flavor and consistency was wonderful.

Loved it!
How could this be modified for the instant pot? Thanks!
Hi Julie! We actually have an Instant Pot version! Hope that link is helpful!
Thank you so much! This is one of my favorites from your site and being able to cook it in the Instant Pot makes it even better! 🙂
