Like what is the ketchup/mustard/relish etc of taco?
Im thinking a bit more on the nose than say salsa. Prolly a bit more MSG-y

Cumin
Thats the taco secret?
Cumin is the secret to everything including life itself. They say pepper is the gold of spices and the choice of kings but those who say that have obviously never come close to experiencing even just the smell of cumin.
Yes cumin is the taco secret but I might be biased
Cumin is the #1 flavour profile in tacos in my experience.
Use it with hot paprika, onion/garlic powder, lime, salsa roja/verde and some pico de gallo and you’re in taco heaven.
I make mine with doubled up corn tortillas fried in oil in a pan, and I like to use cheap Italian sausage meat from Costco as the base. I sometimes grill tomato paste into the meat as well.
I make my own popcorn and season it. A few months ago I threw some cumin into the spice mix, and now I add it everytime. Spiced popcorn is really good
Some cinnamon too, just a touch
Ugh I hate cinnamon. Never heard of cumin in that sense tho
You would be surprised how often it is used in chilli, Indian food, etc. You don’t use enough to taste like a cinnamon bun, you add enough that it has a subtleness that you can’t describe, like nutmeg
I feel like taco essence is independant of meat stuff
99% yes, it’s the cumin, though the other flavours complement it.
