Tips
If filling is too hot/not thick, place in fridge or freezer until thickened for easier rolling.
Weigh the entirety of your filling and divide by 18 to evenly distribute filling across each burrito.
Cook rice separately if not using RightRice, as cooking directly in the slow cooker may take 1-2 hours.
