Mix arepa flour, water, and salt in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into discs.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter.

Cook the arepas for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the arepas from the skillet and let them cool slightly.

Slice open the arepas to create pockets.

Fill each arepa with cheese, black beans, or your choice of protein.

Top with avocado, salsa, and fresh cilantro.

Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Optionally, fry plantains in the skillet until golden.

Serve plantains alongside the arepas.

Garnish with additional salsa and lime juice if desired.
