How to Make Arepas Con Queso : Latin-Twisted Dishes

Combine 1 cup of water with 1 cup of arepa flour.

Season with a little bit of salt.

Knead the dough until it cleans the bowl.

Divide the dough into four pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball and flatten it with your hand.

For baked arepas, sear them in a pan first.

Bake the seared arepas in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes.

For fried arepas, fry them in canola oil for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

Open the cooked arepas like a pocket with a knife and insert cheese.
