Cornmeal can be a more accessible option for making arepas.

Pour water into a mixing bowl.

Slowly add cornmeal to the water to avoid clumps.

Stir until a very dense dough ball forms.

Check the dough; it should not stick to your fingers when pressed.

Prepare your filling by mixing pulled chicken, avocado, cilantro, salt, and pepper.

Optionally, use rotisserie chicken if short on time.

Serve arepas with butter, scrambled eggs, ham, and cheese.
