The reason for the leaves--I had them available.
I sent a large ice cream banana out and had to cut it practically in half to ship it so I had all the leaves. I know it'd probably be even better on the grill but I was lazy and too busy to cook it that way.
The leaves did give it a little different flavor. It was really good!The crock pot cooking made the leaves turn a brownish khaki color, and it had a brownish juice in with the meat juices that was really good. The clean up was easy too because the crockpot was still pretty clean. I'd have to give this a thumbs up! We shredded the meat with the veggies and ate it with tortillas, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, fresh onions and fresh jalapenos.
