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.

I thought these arepas were just okay. They were a little bit dry, and the filling was a bit bland.

These arepas were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These arepas were a hit at my dinner party! They were light and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The filling was flavorful and well-seasoned.
