There are many variations of this recipe, so you can easily add or omit ingredients according to your preference. I usually make a basic version, but you can add spices such as cumin, cayenne pepper, or chili for extra flavor.
You can also add bell peppers and fresh herbs, or omit the tomato sauce if you prefer a simpler version.
