Pinto Beans

El Pollo Loco sent me a free gift card. I’m super happy they have vegan foods now, but I can’t bring myself to eat there. Even if it’s free. Gave the card and t-shirt away to someone who needed them.

I had only planned on getting a burrito, but in the moment of impulse in the drive-thru line I added this side of beans as well. They also have black beans, rice, steamed vegetables, and Tapatio fries that are all already vegan. I don’t eat pinto beans often, not usually making them at home and not always sure if they’ll be vegetarian when out at a restaurant. But having that guarantee here and knowing how good they taste, I was very happy to add this simple yet tasty side dish to my meal.
