I like the color. You probably don’t need to be told how to add heat, but I would consider trying not just more roasted fresh peppers but a chipotle with a bit of the adobo sauce from the can.

For heat reference, last salsa I made had 4 jalapeños, 2 seranos, 2 roma tomato, 2 comparis, and 1 can el pato hot tomato sauce. I like a lot of heat and wouldn’t make this for others, but would 1/2 the peppers with same tomato ratio instead.

I mean yea 1 jalapeno and 1 serrano will leave a lot to be desired. For 5 tomatoes and 2 onions worth of salsa i’ll usually put in about 10-20 roasted serranos or 3-8 raw ones depending on my mood

UPDATE-
Girl absolutely destroyed half a bag of Calidad corn chips and over 3 cups of this salsa. Is now complaining about being “full “ … lol 😂

Heat is subjective. Some people think jalapeños are incredibly hot, while others eat raw scorpion peppers!
More serranos is a way to increase the heat level. If this was mild for the two of you, you can add 4 more serranos, and see how that goes. I still add some jalapeños for their flavor though.
To up the spice, you can add chili de Arbols. These are my favorite! I get them from a little Mexican store nearby, and boy do they add heat! For this quantity of salsa, I personally would add about 5 chili de Arbol’s, boiled and stems removed, and I will be dripping with sweat from eating it! They can be really spicy (3x the heat level of serranos), so I would start with just a couple at first probably. Quite a few people have mentioned that the chili de arbol from Walmart don’t have the heat they should (I’ve purchased them from Walmart once and I agree), so brand may matter.
Next step up would he habanero, though that may be too hot. One or two habaneros and my mouth is on fire. It’s a great heat level, but it’s more leans into the pain side of heat, rather than flavor. But again, it’s all subjective!
