Introduce the recipe and ingredients: 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup coconut flour, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar substitute, hot water, and salt.

Mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, and sugar substitute in a bowl.

Add a pinch of salt to the dry mixture.

Gradually add hot water to the mixture while mixing, being careful to achieve the right consistency.

Knead the mixture with your hands until it feels sandy and forms a dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.

Form the dough into small balls and let them rest for 10-15 minutes to unify the ingredients.

Prepare the cooking surface: heat a griddle or skillet and add melted butter to prevent sticking.

Flatten each ball into a thin disc, adjusting thickness according to preference.

Place the discs on the griddle at 250°F (121°C) to cook slowly without burning.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, then flip carefully to cook the other side.

Optionally, brush the tops with melted butter while cooking for added flavor.

Serve the arepas with toppings or fillings as desired.
