This salsa is very popular in Mexico it is smooth not chunky and reminds me of a tabasco sauce, only mine is not as thin. We call it salsa diabla in Spanish, diabla translates to shedevil. I make it and store in a plastic squeeze bottle like those plastic ketchup & mustard containers. I refrigerate after making it it will last about a week but in my house it never lasts that long. My kids when they were growing up their favorite thing to do was to serve a large bowl of potato chips and sprinkle a generous amount on all the chips. They would eat chips, salsa and coke while watching tv. I could not keep potato chips or any of this salsa for long. It's addicting and you can't stop eating it. It is also delicious on deep fried fish and fries. Of course you can season anything on the table with it. Enjoy
