Soft Bean Taco Without Cheese at Taco Bell

This is my standard vegan meal at Taco Bell when I get tired of the Bean Burrito without cheese. New vegans, if you order a Bean Taco without cheese, be sure to dig through it a bit before eating. There's probably cheese in the lettuce. Also, beware of the Fresco option. There's almost always stray cheese pieces in the pico de gallo. This taco was perfect!

Taco Bell is a great place for beginner vegans. While the menu keeps changing, the standard ingredients remain. Basic vegan choices include tacos with beans instead of meat and with no cheese, bean burritos with no cheese, bowls of pinto beans or black beans without cheese, sides of pico and chips, cinnamon twists, and topping like lettuce, tomato, pico de gallo, and onions. 

And the food tastes pretty good for the low price.

One Table Huntsville 2022 Vegan Option

One Table is an event organized to "bring together people from all walks of life across our city, give thanks, create unity, and celebrate diversity." Free food with good people in a positive environment sounds pretty good, doesn't it? As participants of One Table Huntsville, we were offered a vegan option! Amazing!

One Table Huntsville 2022, vegan option

The vegan plate included vegan fried "chicken", seasoned rice, greens, carrots. cornbread, and cake. When I heard about free vegan food being given out, I was skeptical and doubtful. I assumed the vegan option would be mustard and tomato sandwiches with a side of ham-cooked green beans with the ham picked out. When I went through the line to get my free vegan food I was offered one great item after another. What a pleasant surprise! But was it good?

The vegan fried "chicken" was better than expected. It seemed to be fried wheat gluten. The texture was perfect. The taste was excellent. The rice was delicious and perfect. The greens were amazing! I love greens! I could have eaten the whole catering tray of those greens. The carrots were good. The sweet flavor was nice. I enjoyed every piece. The cornbread was good, maybe a bit sweeter than I prefer. Most vegan cornbread falls to pieces, but this stayed in one piece. The cake was very sweet, sticky, and soft with a coating of powdered sugar. I was also given a free bottle of water.

This was fun. The food was really good. Friendly, positive-minded people were everywhere, sitting together. I left like part of a huge family at a reunion in grandma's back yard. It was free. This was nothing but positive. I will return next year!
