| - You're probably sensing a theme in my posts--that is, where can I eat locally and healthfully but also conveniently on the go? I'm finding some surprising options, including a new food truck, The Uprooted Kitchen, which can be found at Food Truck Fridays in Phoenix, among other locations in metro Phoenix throughout the week.
While the truck is advertised as merely vegetarian, I was happily surprised to find that all options were, or could be made, vegan.
Choosing between two tempting salads, a cheesy wrap and the veg burger was quite difficult, but in the end, I gave in to my craving for something crisp and went with the cheesy wrap, made with tapioca-based daiya cheese substitute. (Mozzarella was also an option.)
The "cheesy" wrap was a guilt-free comfort food. While it felt filling and indulgent, the crisp wrap was stuffed with a wholesome medley of black beans, cauliflower, pureed butternut squash, corn, tomatoes and just a sprinkle of daiya. The decadent but light concoction was sided with a spicy but not heavy salsa plus greens and parslane.
I will definitely be back to sample the other options on this menu.
