Arepas (Corn Griddle Cakes) image

A popular snack in Columbia, Venezuela, Panama and many other Hispanic countries. Serve with toppings such as cheese, salsa, cream cheese, and butter. I choose to melt cheese on mine during the cooking process, which makes them extra yummy!

These arepas were a disappointment. They were bland and flavorless. I won't be making them again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my arepas turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

These arepas were a great way to use up some leftover cornmeal. I had never made them before, but I'm definitely going to make them again.

I'm not a big fan of cornbread, but I really enjoyed these arepas. They're not as dry or crumbly as cornbread, and the fillings add a lot of flavor and moisture.

These arepas were absolutely delicious! The combination of sweet corn and savory fillings is perfect, and the texture is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a slight crispy crust on the outside. I especially loved the combination of shredded beef and
