Some tortillas contain lard. For vegans you can't just assume that because
something doesn't look like meat, it isn't! Most Mexican rice has chicken
broth in it and refried beans can contain lard or in some cases Chorizo or
bacon. Many Mexican restaurants offer whole pinto beans and/or black beans
as a vegan option.
