avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed peas

Mashed peas can mimic the creaminess of avocado.

Place 400 grams of chicken breast in a dish with a base of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Add 1 teaspoon of paprika and 1 teaspoon of cumin, and mix well to coat the chicken.

Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Bake the chicken in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, chop fresh parsley finely.

Chop a small onion; if you want to reduce its intensity, soak it in water with a splash of vinegar for 20 minutes.

Squeeze half a lemon to extract its juice and set aside.

Once the chicken is roasted, shred the meat to prepare the filling.

For the filling, use 1.5 avocados; mash them with a fork.

Add 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix the ingredients.

Next, add the shredded chicken and onion, and mix again until well combined.

In a large bowl, combine 180 grams of precooked white corn flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and gradually incorporate 315 ml of water, mixing with your fingers.

Knead the dough until it reaches a smooth texture, then let it rest for 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, wetting your hands to mold each into a ball.

Flatten each ball into a disk about 10 centimeters in diameter and 1.5 centimeters thick.

In a wide skillet, grease the surface with a drop of oil and heat it.

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

While one side cooks, slice the remaining half avocado to combine with the filling of two arepas.

To keep the arepas warm, place them on a plate and cover with a cloth.

When ready to fill, cut the arepas in half without slicing all the way through, and fill them generously with the avocado and chicken mixture.
