Mix precooked corn flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a smooth dough forms.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into discs.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and cook the arepas until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side.

In a separate bowl, combine shredded chicken, avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, onion, garlic, and pepper to create the filling.

Slice the cooked arepas open, creating a pocket for the filling.

Stuff each arepa with the chicken and avocado mixture.

Top with cheese if desired and serve immediately.
