For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will work, but the smoked variety adds a lovely depth of flavor. This filling is best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. This also makes a great filling for sandwiches or wraps!
