L.A.’s very own, Chicano Batman have teamed up HomeState, a Texas kitchen in Los Angeles, to create their very own signature vegan taco.
Available for $5, “The Chicano Batman,” features soyrizo, potatoes, guacamole, and salsa verde on an organic corn tortilla. All proceeds will go to Los Angeles-based organizations, Watts Empowerment Center and No Us Without You.
About the organizations:
The Watts Empowerment Center is the 12,900 sq ft state-of-the-art facility committed to the children, youth, and families within Watts Housing Projects. These 3.3 acres are the heartbeat of the community. Locals can discover their purpose and develop their talents with the help of top industry and business professionals that provide mentorship to many within the community. Resources offered range from Sports Leagues, After School Tutoring, STEM Media Lab, Culinary Arts Kitchen, Performing Arts Studio, Music, Acting, Fashion Design, Etiquette Courses, Resume Building Workshops, Anti-Bullying Classes, Mental Health/Stress Management, and beyond.
NO US WITHOUT YOU! feeds undocumented workers who are the backbone of the hospitality industry. These hard-working men and women who have, for years, fulfilled the unforgiving back-of -house restaurant positions, now find themselves in the vulnerable position of being unemployed, with no government assistance and with mouths to feed.
