The Best Salsa Ever

NorCal Will's Note:

I like a thin and spicy salsa for my tortilla chips, eggs, tacos and more. This is a very simple version of something you might find at a salsa bar in a Mexican restaurant. If you like it chunky you might consider diced tomatoes and less water. Not bad for something you can make with a $1 can of tomatoes and some ingredients in the spice rack. For a milder version you can skip the habanero sauce and use your favorite hot sauce.
