I followed the recipe exactly but the tomatoes came out dry and the filling was too salty. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The tomatoes were a bit bland, but the filling was tasty.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The tomatoes are juicy and the filling is delicious. I like to add a little bit of heat with some diced jalapeños.
