Grilled, raw, or caramelized onions; grilled, sautéed, or raw hot peppers; cilantro; lime juice (sometimes, with some stuff); cotija cheese; and a tasty, hot salsa are what go in my tacos. Lettuce is fine on a hard taco, I guess. It doesn't really need it, though.

I like to make fish tacos every few months.
I get the beer battered fish filets you bake in the oven. I use two of the white corn tortillas, and I soften them up in the microwave. I top them with home made pico, which I make with roma tomatoes, onions, cilantro, a little lime juice, and a dash of garlic powder and cumin. I also make a sauce with about a half cup mayo and a half cup sour cream. Into that goes a dash of chipotle powder, a dash of cumin, some garlic powder, salt, black pepper, minced pickled jalapeno slices and a teaspoon of the juice from the jalapeno jar, and a healthy few dashes of Cholula hot sauce. I never measure anything but it comes out pretty consistent every time. The tortillas go down on the plate, then the fish, then the sauce and pico, and finally some shredded cabbage. |

Going with the intent of the op for shelf stable ingredients:
You’re going to need a tortilla, so flour, a shelf stable fat like lard, salt, baking powder, and potable water. You could keep canned chicken, fish, or spam for meats. Maybe use the liquid from the cans to make your tortillas and save water? Veggies are going to be pickled cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños. You could use canned cheese sauce or processed cheese food for a dairy. Try freeze dried cilantro for garnish. |

That with a little cheese or sour cream is all I usually put on there. I use this a lot too: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61yHY59qwoL._SL1000_.jpg  You have spoken the truth.

Avocado, cilantro, diced onions and hot sauce. Nothing more is needed for a good carne asada taco on a homemade flour tortilla (double).
None of that is shelf stable though except the hot sauce. |

depends on the taco
Usually onion, cilantro and jalapeno. Sometimes pico and guac. Lately, grilled then caramelized onion with strips of roasted poblano pepper. If I want some sort of crema I usually will blend up a couple of chipotle in adobo from a can in sour cream or mexican table cream. |

Quoted: Mainly taco fixings. My normal go to are lettuce, tomatoes, maybe onion, cheese and sour cream. I don't use much "taco sauce" any more since I started using beef broth instead of water with the taco season, sauce is not needed. Now the purpose of this thread is to come up with options that are pantry stable. A Meteor could hit on Friday, which mean none of the above for Taco Tuesday. Sure, I can substitute fresh tomatoes for canned tomatoes with chilies or plan old canned salsa and canned cheese sauce but I'm looking for other ideas. Beans are on the table. That sounds like a midwestern taco. Peppers, carmelized onions, cilantro, rojo sauce, some machaca and a bit of queso, and some kind of shredded tenderized meat (let's just agree that a good marinated/slow cooked barbacoa is the right answer). <-----proper taco |

If you are using a seasoning pack that says "Tacos" on it, then you are not making tacos. You are putting spicy sloppy joes in a flour tortilla.

How do you do it? I guess RIF, I didn't read past the first sentence in the OP and went right to what makes a good taco. So the above, could substitute masa for the flour and make corn tortillas too. The canned meats aren't a bad idea but it will be more important to have topping ingredients and enhancers should it go past what's in the pantry to making tacos out of whatever meat is available. I'd recommend lots of cans of diced green chile (good source of vitimin C too) Huge bottles of hot sauce (Tapatio, Valentina, or the like) a little goes on the finished taco, but this is more important as the marinade. If you're going to grill the meat (Beef, pork, venison, elk, chicken, quail, rabbit ,dove, rat, pigeon, raccoon) drown the meat in hot sauce for a while, then grill it. If it's going to be pan cooked, cut way back on the hot sauce in the marinade unless you're cooking something nasty and you don't want to taste it. Important seasonings that will be shelf stable, Chili powder (or a shit ton of dried chilies and grind your own) cumin, dried onion and dried garlic salt, pepper. Mayonnaise is also shelf stable, at least until opened. This sounds gross, but mixed with a little water and hot sauce will make a fine sour cream like topping. A shelf stable aged cheese like Parmesan will make a decent substitute for Cotija sprinkled on a finished taco. The most important thing, if you want to make tacos forever, first learn how to make tortillas. Everything you put in a tortilla is a taco. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Fish tacos are awesome, the battered fish stick style was invented in San Diego. Delicious.  The Ensenada-style fish taco, or "battered fish stick style", was invented in the early 60s in a fish market called El Mercado Negro, in the town of Ensenada, Baja California. The myth that they were invented in SD came from a restaurant owner there who claimed to have invented them in the 80s. |

I love tacos. And Burritos. And Gorditas.
There's a little local Mexican grocery store near me that has THE BEST Gorditas. I prefer the Carne Asada, but will also eat Lengua, El Pastor, ground beef, grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, chorizo....ehhh, anything. Pulled pork BBQ and beef brisket also make excellent tacos and burritos (with slaw and beans). Possibly the best tacos I ever had were on my honeymoon in Costa Rica. We grabbed lunch at a hole in the wall. A local fisherman had brought in a Marlin the day before and we had fresh Marlin tacos. Yum. |
