Tacos with vegetarian beans! Takes a bit of prep but tasty and good for you!
Did you mean to say "vegetarian tacos using beans"? Because the way you wrote it makes it sound like you're implying that some beans aren't vegetarian...
Lots of beans have lard or pork in them.
Is this a joke I'm not American enough to understand?
I don't think it's a US American thing per se. Refried beans are a common staple of Mexican dishes and may incorporate lard (as will more authentic flour tortillas). They're mashed, not whole beans.
And while I wouldn't use them in tacos, canned baked beans like those you'd find in the UK may also not be vegetarian.
The word tacos implies Mexican food, and Mexican preparations of beans traditionally use lard as the cooking fat.
Refried beans are traditionally made with lard. Many canned beans have fatback (pork) in them. Even vegetarian looking canned beans are not always vegetarian, I always look for the ones that specifically say vegetarian.
Well, the Fediverse has taught us that cats have beans on their paws... :)
