Love Arepas!

I recently tried an arepa recipe, and I have to say, it’s such a versatile and delicious dish! The simplicity of making the arepa dough—just pre-cooked cornmeal, water, and a pinch of salt—is so convenient, and the possibilities for fillings are endless. I went with a classic combination of shredded chicken, avocado, and cheese, and it was absolutely divine.

What I love most about arepas is how customizable they are. You can make them thin and crispy for a sandwich-like experience or thicker for a more filling meal. Plus, they’re naturally gluten-free, which is a big bonus for anyone with dietary restrictions.

A tip for anyone trying to perfect their arepas: let the dough rest for a few minutes before shaping to ensure a smooth, even texture. Also, cooking them on medium heat gives that perfect golden crust while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.

If you haven’t tried making arepas yet, you’re missing out!
