When I make quesadillas, I put a thin layer of this really good chipotle sauce on the tortilla before I start adding the ingredients. Plus, butter for browning the tortilla always trumps cooking spray. Finally, when browning the meat, thereβs a sweet and spicy sauce Iβll put in the pan along with some honey to finish browning the meat. Adds a layer of sticky goodness.
Pumpkin pie. Add cardamom.
Balance acidity, that's pretty much how to make every sauce delicious. Per OP's suggestion, that free glutamate punch also helps.
I don't know about "better", but I've been experimenting with adding bitter chocolate to my indian curries. The thinking being, some masalas are a bit like mole if you squint (yes, I know most moles don't actually contain chocolate). Balancing out the bittersweetness has been challenging, especially given that the tomatoes I can get around here are already quite sweet. It also affects how much lemon juice or amchoor is needed. I'm not quite convinced yet that it's a good idea lol.

Worcestershire sauce in tuna. It is delicious.
I find a lot of dishes are just better with oregano.
Dashi. Makes dishes get a lot of umami.
Salt, butter and garlic. But I have a feeling my secret ingredients aren't all that secret.
Scrambled eggs. Add some cream and onion.
I put a pinch of freshly roasted and ground cumin in my guac. Gives it a little oomph
