COMO HACER AREPAS RELLENAS DE QUESO (Facil y deliciosas)

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: queso blanco

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

arepa flour

🥗Healthier: whole grain flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Cornmeal is often more accessible and less expensive.

In a bowl, make a small hole in the arepa flour and add the sugar, salt, and melted butter.

Gradually add the hot water while mixing with a spatula to avoid burns.

Mix well until the dough is soft; if needed, add more water to achieve a smooth consistency.

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes or until it cools down.

After cooling, mix the dough with your hands for about 3 minutes until it is manageable and pulls away from the bowl.

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape them into balls.

Make a hole in the center of each ball, fill with cheese, and carefully close it to form an arepa.

Heat a splash of oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the arepas.

Cook the arepas for about 5 minutes until they are golden brown, then flip them carefully.

Once flipped, increase the heat and turn the arepas several times until they puff up from the steam, indicating they are done.
