thanks for posting this. For a while their black bean tacos were being made with rice that was cooked in chicken broth. I was told they have changed that. They are listing the black bean taco as vegetarian on the menu now. But I guess if you change to the corn tortilla (which I always do) it;s vegan. That makes me very happy.
ReplyDeleteDo the taco flour tortillas contain some sort of animal fat? That would be very unusual these days... But based on your post, that seems to be the case.
ReplyDeleteThey contain 100% vegetable shortening.
ReplyDeleteIf you are referring to the taco, they share a common fryer with meat items.
ReplyDeleteI read in another article that the flour tortillas are not vegan because they contain whey.
ReplyDeleteThis was an e-mail from Taco Cabana in 2011.
ReplyDeleteSince it is a couple years later, for an accurate ingredient list contact them through e-mail.
