Add 1-2 teaspoons of salt to the mixture and mix again.

Fold in 150-200 grams of grated cheese gradually until fully incorporated.

Roll pieces of the dough into balls and press them down gently to form one finger thick discs.

Preheat a cast-iron pan on a grill and add oil for frying.

Fry the arepas in the pan until golden brown on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the arepas from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Slice the arepas open to fill them with pulled pork, cheese, and optional barbecue sauce or coleslaw.
