For a smokier flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the tomato sauce. Feel free to adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your preferred spice level. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat. If the tomato sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a few tablespoons of water or vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
