Time 27m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups arepas flour (such as P.A.N.®)
½ cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon honey
vegetable oil
1 (6 ounce) package cooked chicken, shredded, or to taste
½ (8 ounce) package Monterey Jack cheese, sliced, or to taste
½ avocado, sliced, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring milk to a simmer in a pot. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
  • Combine arepas flour, grated Monterey Jack cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add the hot milk mixture and honey; stir until combined. Let mixture sit until milk is absorbed enough for a soft dough to form, 1 to 2 minutes. Dough will continue to stiffen.
  • Form dough into 12 balls about 2 inches in diameter. Flatten between palms into 3 1/2- to 4-inch arepa patties about 1/3-inch thick.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 to 4 arepas at a time until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Slice each arepa in half crosswise and stuff a portion of chicken, sliced Monterey Jack cheese, and avocado between the halves.

These arepas were delicious! I made them for breakfast and they were the perfect start to my day. I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The arepas were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The filling was flavorful and

I've made these arepas a few times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they're a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. I love the crispy texture on the outside and the soft and fluffy texture on the inside.

I love these arepas! They're so versatile and can be filled with anything you like. I've tried them with shredded beef, chicken, and even black beans. They're always delicious. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

These arepas were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices to the masa dough. The texture was good though, and they were easy to make.

These arepas turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the masa dough. Other than that, they were delicious!
