My granma always has chiles (peppers), garlic, onions, tomateos, cilantro, and salt on hand. She also always has cinammon for sweet foods and even tea. I think it's better to keep it simple for better tasting food. Alot of hispanics use bullon/consume... not a good idea, it contains MSG.

Chiles are the most common, we have lots of them and all have different flavors. Jalapeños and Chipotles ( names of chiles) are quite different, for example. We use them to make salsas combined with green tomatillos or tomatoes, to cook chickem beef or even enchiladas or tacos. If you want an especific dish or recipe, please contact me , I will be happy to help you.
