Google "greywater-friendly cleaning products" (or "greywater-compatible...") for a list.

I use only rinse water from rinsing off vegetables or clearing plates of vegan food, nothing with any cleaning products in it.

Kitchen water is not legal to be plumbed for greywater use in California because it can be contaminated with animal products, which can pose a health risk. So a more detailed response to Burritos is that kitchen water is safe to use in the garden if it has not come in contact with animal products or with cleaning products that are on the "to be avoided" list.
