In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of arepa flour, 3 cups of regular milk, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Add 4.11 ounces of melted butter to the mixture.

Mix well until the ingredients are combined and the dough forms a smooth consistency.

Add evaporated milk and then add condensed milk to the mixture, continuing to mix until well combined.

Prepare a skillet by heating it and adding butter to prevent sticking.

Shred the mozzarella and tropical cheese for filling the arepas.

Take a portion of the dough and flatten it into a disk.

Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of the disk.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges tightly.

Cook the arepas in the skillet until golden brown, flipping them to ensure even cooking.
