It is a secret in that I haven't written a tutorial about it yet, but then on the other hand I tell anyone that asks
I start by bringing in 4-7 textures into Photoshop and layering them all in one document, then I fiddle with the layer blend options, et voilą!
When I first started manipulating my textures I did it differently each time; it was all about experimentation. While that's still a big part of it, eventually I came upon a technique that produces reliable results.
I place a texture with big contrasty details on the topmost layer, and set the layer blend mode to Hard Light. Then I created a new layer on top, and fill it with a solid colour (usually a very dark orange, almost black) setting the layer blend mode to Color and lowering the opacity to let some of the underlying colours through (otherwise it's a boring monotone.) Sometimes this doesn't look too good, so I'll move the Hard Light texture down a few layers etc.
Finally, I'll flatten the layers down and use Curves to push the colours/details/shadows around. This step can make a world of difference
