For a richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred spice level. A dash of smoked paprika can add depth. To prevent the mixture from becoming too dry, add a splash of chicken broth or water if needed. This filling freezes exceptionally well. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container or freezer bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
