That's the flavor of the taco. Otherwise it's just meat in flatbread.
You are telling on yourself by saying "some people don't like it hot". There are many peppers that are not hot: ancho chiles, chile del arbol, Anaheim pepper, poblanos, banana peppers, cascabel, chilaca, etc.
If you don't know about mild peppers, you don't know about Mexican food. It's just that simple. Downvote away Europeans.
Nah, you really don't need peppers for it to be a taco. All you need is:
Layer it up, fold, then eat. There are a ton of options, and many of the protein options have no peppers, spicy or otherwise. It's a completely irrelevant part of the dish, like which protein you use.
I'm not European, and I work with a Mexican who corrected me on a lot of my assumptions about Mexican food.
You’re telling on yourself by claiming those peppers to be unavailable in Europe. I wouldn’t be surprised if you thought cilantro to be exclusively American at this point.
