How to make Arepa Reina Pepiada sin Mayonesa / Receta Venezolana

In a large bowl, combine masa harina and salt.

Gradually add warm water to the masa harina, mixing until a dough forms.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2 inch thick.

Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.

Cook the arepas for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

In a separate bowl, mash the avocado and mix in mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, black pepper, and shredded chicken to create the filling.

Once the arepas are cooked, slice them open to create a pocket.

Stuff each arepa with the chicken and avocado mixture.

Serve warm.
