Install VCT over old concrete--what to use for patching holes?

| I am redoing my laundy room in my basement, which has a slightly rough
concrete floor. Previous asphalt tile was taken up and nearly all cut
back (black) adhesive removed with it.
We had a few stubborn tiles to remove, though, and with my cold chisel,
I made a few pock marks here and there in the floor. I don'r really
want to go all out and use self-leveling compound on the whole
floor--this room is not worth the effort, and the original tiles seem
to have stuck pretty well for 40 years.
What's an easy-to-use patching material I can use on the floor to fill
in these small depressions?

| They make the usual dash-patch for patching and feathering out small
areas in concrete floors. You can find it at the local home center.
Although its a little late, could you have just put the VCT over the
existing tile? Thats what I did in my basement. The old tile did not
want to come up, and I think it was asbestos too, so I just laid the
new tile over it.
