Overview
Taco is a epic-tier cooked dish in Windrose. A hearty stacked corn tortilla with beans and tomato. Mastery improves critical hit chance per the attribute guide, so Taco is the crit-oriented build's staple.

Where to Get the Ingredients
Tomato: see the dedicated article for sourcing notes.
Beans: see the dedicated article for sourcing notes.
Cornmeal: see the dedicated article for sourcing notes.
Mysterious Spice: see the dedicated article for sourcing notes.
Buff Stacking Rule
Windrose allows exactly two active food buffs at once. Eating a third cooked dish overwrites the oldest active buff. Raw food still fills the hunger meter but grants no stat buff. See Food and Potions for the full ruleset.
Best Used For
Pair this dish with armor sets and weapon choices that scale with Mastery. For cross-stat stacking, see Attributes and Stats and the Cooking Recipes overview table.

Ingredient Sourcing Detail
Cornmeal: ground from Corn at a Millstone. Corn is a Foothills crop found at Points of Interest or grown from seeds.
Beans: Cursed Swamps flora at the Ruin With a Flowerbed POI; farmable after harvesting Bean Seedlings.
Tomato: Foothills crop; grown from seeds at a Seedbed.
Mysterious Spice: Cursed Swamps chest-loot only.
Role in the Meta
Taco is the Epic Mastery dish. Mastery governs critical hit behavior and is a preferred stat for finisher-heavy builds. It pairs well with Elixir of Precision for marksman-style pistol and musket rotations, or with a Mastery-scaling Executioner halberd build. The +20 Mastery magnitude is documented primarily on method.gg; other sources confirm Epic tier and 30-minute duration but do not always name the stat explicitly.
Recipe Source Conflict
Mobalytics and method.gg: 5 Tomato + 5 Beans + 6 Cornmeal + 2 Mysterious Spice. Dexerto: 5 Tomato + 5 Beans + 4 Tortilla + 2 Mysterious Spice. Dexerto substitutes 4 Tortilla (itself made from Cornmeal) for raw Cornmeal, which looks like a version-change or downstream-item display quirk. The Cornmeal form is the two-source majority.
Station Requirement
Cooking Fire + Cutting Table + Cookware Shelf, plus a Millstone nearby for Cornmeal production. The Millstone itself is a small-station build unlocked once Corn is first picked up in the Foothills.
