You should also look at salsas. They can achieve spicy hot-hot-hot levels
as the chili sauces but provide a more "edible" consistency.

I'd hot sauce an omelette. Salsa would chill it too much.

I'd hot sauce a batch of guacamole to heat it up. Salsa would water it
down.

I'd use salsa for dipping sauces (chips, tenders, etc.). Hot sauce would be
too spotty to apply.

I'd salsa over a burrito. You can't sop up a bite in hot sauce.

I'd hot sauce a "buffalo wing" coating. Salsa would just drip off.

I'd salsa a hotdog before I'd hot sauce one.


There's good use for both, just don't overlook salsas, imho.

Happy hunting,
