Smooth and spicy is easy.
Chillies Tomatos
(Savoury) Onions Garlic Cumin Lemon Lime Cilantro /coriander Tiny bit of vinegar Salt to taste
(Sweet) Ginger Tomato paste concentrate Lime/lemon Sugar Dill Pepper Salt to taste
Edit: Smooth
If you blend it fine, bottle or jar it, let it ferment for a week (sit somewhere cool and dark with the lid not fully closed) and then blend again and sit or strain you’ll get that typical hot sauce consistency.
All of the ingredients above are variable, add or reduce to your taste and dont be scared of adding other spices and or fruits/veggies to your concoctions. The above is just a general outline.

A super easy one that my mom taught me to make and it goes good with lots of things: – 3 tomatoes – 2-3 serranos (you can adjust or use different chiles based on heat tolerance) – about 6 whole garlic cloves – about a quarter to a third of an onion – salt to taste
The ez way is to just put everything in a microwaveable bowl and add some water, I usually add enough water to go like half way up the tomatoes and stuff. Then I just microwave to soften everything, usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Throw everything in a blender, don’t add all the water, you can keep adding it little by little to get the consistency you’re looking for and the adjust for seasoning by adding salt or the secret ingredient (chicken bouillon).
Trust me I was skeptical of the microwave method too but my mom is from Mexico and it’s just an easy way to do it with less cleanup, you could just boil everything. You can add cilantro if you like but I often don’t, I just save the cilantro for whatever else. And it doesn’t really need any citrus, tomatoes provide the acidity. Great for just snacking with chips, awesome with eggs, you name it
