Dice up some tomatoes and onions, and add the hot sauce to get the right consistency and hotness. Some chopped cilantro will add a very fresh taste. Add salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder to taste.

Taste like Rubio's Hot Red Salsa recipe
So for a small little batch:
1 small can of tomato sauce - any brand is ok
2 T or more of red chili pepper flakes
2 tsp sugar or to taste
Salt 1 T or to taste
Toast/char the chili flakes in a frying pan – don’t burn! They should be dark not burnt
Toss the pan constantly for even charring. I leave the seeds in. Don't let them get to blackend. (I used a small saute pan, non stick)I would lift the pan when it got to hot and tossed the flakes all around. When the flakes are at the dark color you desire:
Add the can of sauce, let it simmer and reduce. Tasting it, it will taste like tomato sauce with the flakes - not good and so you will need to add
salt to taste - I added it a little at a time. Now it will begin to start tasting better
Add sugar to taste- same process a little at a time - keep tasting
Let it continue to simmer and reduce on low then turn it off and let it sit. Add a little water to thin it, not too much!
I then turned the heat back on and let it cook a little longer, maybe 5 minutes stirring it to make sure i like the consistency. I added another pinch of sugar at this point turned the flame off and let it cool. Once it was cool:
Pour salsa into a container and serve with taco salads, tacos or use wherever!
The addition of the sugar made it so much better! And today, it was excellent!
It tastes spot on only better, and I think the reason it does is the amount of sugar, and not burning the chili flakes.
I hope you enjoy it! It was truely a labor of love!

You can make salsa fresca by chopping tomatoes, green onion cilantro, and white onion then mix in a little salt and your favorite hot sauce.
You can make picante with the same ingredients but you'll need to sautee the white onions in a saucepan on low heat until they are translucent, then add tomatoes and hot sauce and simmer until tomatoes are very soft and soupy, remove from heat and add in green onion and cilantro. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Enjoy your yummy creation.
