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 bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more salt and pepper. The texture was good, though.
