For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground pork and beef. Sofrito can be made from scratch or purchased pre-made. Feel free to adjust the amount of salt and spices to your liking. For a smoother plantain mash, use a food processor. The meat filling can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
