Vegan Salad Recipe from Tacodeli
They eat tacos, not burritos, in Texas, so it's a good thing locals have Tacodeli to help satisfy their Mexican finger-food needs—breakfast, lunch and dinner. These guys even have vegetarian and vegan options, and they have a vegan salad for when you want to take a break from tortillas and also eat with a fork.
Founder Roberto Espinosa's Mexico City roots season the food he serves, and the social energy of his Austin headquarters make for a fun experience. There are large outdoor patios, where you can relax and eat with friends of all ages, at more than 10 locations around Austin, Dallas and Houston.
Most restaurants in most cities will work with you on easy tweaks to make a menu item vegetarian or vegan. This recipe is the salad I ordered below based on options at Tacodeli.
It's easy to make and with their garlic-lime vinaigrette, it tastes fresh and crisp with romaine lettuce and taco fixings for a refreshing vegan Tex-Mex meal.
This recipe is for two servings, with the option to cut or increase based on the number of people in your party!
