salt, garlic, cumin, citrus, cilantro/coriander, cinnamon, raisins (depending on where you are), cocoa, and where things get complicated: a whack of fresh, dried, and smoked peppers blended, simmered, or pulverized/powdered, often used together to try to balance flavour and heat.

They're definitely not on the silk road, but to imply they don't season their food is... very 4chan of you. Gotta do something to hide the fact that it's going bad.

Salty and a bit crunchy, really only works as a snack. I know I sound like a meme millenial foodie or whatever, but get a soft corn torilla, spread some guac in it, put the chapulines and some lemon (green lemon or whatever you call Mexican lemons)and you are done. It's really not a weird and exotic taste, so don't sell a lung for them.
