This is a delicious filling! Seeing that I had two rounds of your dough, I decided to make two different fillings from your recipe. The first one, used as directed. The second, I added cayenne and cumin. We both enjoyed one of each for dinner. I have frozen one batch (unbaked) for quick meals. DH is thrilled! Thank you for sharing Pia!
