I believe in Tacos, the tenets being seasoned ground beef, pico de gallo, guacamole, cheese, chopped tomatoes and lettuce, and hot salsa

This is a metaphor for Christianity as it is popularly misunderstood today: we make it to suit our taste. This is what religious wars and Sunday service mockery is all about. One pastor just says to congregants, "Imagine, hot salsa," and they all give a wry chuckle. Translated: how foolish they are. "Everyone knows the salsa must be medium (or mild)." But can the Salsa be chunky? That is for theologians. Fine hairs.
But how the ground beef is seasoned is a point of contention, and something to separate the sects into the thousands. Too complicated to comment.
What parts of elements for pico de gallo? We have ripe red tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime and salt. That’s it! But what percentage of each to the other? More for the theologians to translate and debate.
The quandary about Cheese is obvious. I get a Fiesta mix already grated with four different cheeses. In the church across from where I attend, that is hedonism and we are fools and misled. Apostates!
What kind of tomatoes and lettuce to use? How finely chopped? This is a centuries old debate. Today we mostly use Iceberg and Roma. But as you well know, there are nearly endless choices. In my High Evangelical Taco church, we use Better Boy tomatoes and Romain. We feel this best honors the food.
And last but not least is the guacamole. We all can agree on the avocado as essential, but what else to add to it and in what portions? Mash together the avocados, lime juice, and salt. Mix in onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Stir in cayenne pepper. This is the Apostolic recipe. Our Articles of Faith pamphlet will guide you in determining the proper and just measure of each ingredient.
Or just savor and take delight in the Taco you got! Odd idea I know but I feel that is what Jesus would have said to this raging dementia of endless sects and petty separations. Yuuummm is his order of life, a feast. Mangia! Or like my next door neighbor growing up, Molly Ostrofski, said, "Eat already." Bon appetit!

An authentic Taco consumer would never put anything less than “hot” Salsa on their tacos! 😳

Go for the gusto.
John 10:10: "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
Ecclesiastes 8:15: "So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun."
The naga jolokia is about twice as hot as a Red Savina habanero (the hottest variety of habanero). It is found in Nagaland, in northeast India.
In 2006, it was labeled the hottest chile pepper in the world.
Good-quality dried ones are available for $8.99 an ounce.
The pepper’s unique sweet-smoky-spicy aroma has wooed disciples across India; they are brick red - about an inch long, and shaped like thin lanterns.
Wearing gloves, cut away the stems, and soak the chiles in warm water for 30 minutes, putting the re-hydrated chiles, garlic, vinegar, water and salt into a blender pureeing it together.
When the lid is opened, the smell will approximate a weapon with which to overpower rioters.
To sample it, dip a cracker or nacho into the mix, while positioning a container of yogurt or sour cream at hand for emergency rescue. Expect to be incapacitated, - to sit and perspire for a minimum of ten minutes.
Upon recovery, garnish your open face taco filling of swiss chard, onion, ground beef, avocado, black beans, and shredded pepper jack cheese before folding the tortilla.
The World's Hottest Salsa
Yield: about 3/4 cup
1 ounce dried naga jolokia chiles, stemmed, soaked in warm water, drained
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/3 cup water
generous pinch salt
In a blender, combine all ingredients, and purée. Scrape out, and eat as a salsa (if humanly possible) or prudently add small amounts to soups, sauces, gravies or stews.
1st Corinthians 10:31: "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
Matthew 11:19: "The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! But wisdom is vindicated by her actions."
John 10:10: "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
