Steps:
- Combine arepa flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center and add 2 1/2 cups warm water. Using a wooden spoon, gradually incorporate dry ingredients, stirring until no dry lumps remain. Let rest 5 minutes to hydrate.
- Knead dough a few times in bowl, then divide into 8 pieces. Roll each piece on work surface into a ball, then gently flatten to about 1/2" thick.
- Heat 1 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 arepas, cover, and cook until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Uncover, flip, and cook (keep uncovered) until other side is golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer arepas to a wire rack.
- Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoons oil and dough.
- Split arepas and stuff with desired fillings; serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

[email protected]These arepas were easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made cornmeal mix and they still came out delicious. I filled them with shredded chicken and cheese and they were the perfect comfort food.
