Ingredients
2cups Harina P.A.N. (pre-cooked cornmeal)
2 ½cups warm water
½tsp salt
1tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Optional fillings: shredded cheese, avocado, chicken, or black beans
Instructions
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Harina P.A.N. and salt. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the mixture comes together.
Form the Dough: Let the dough sit for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the water. Knead briefly until smooth.
Shape the Arepas: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a round patty about ½ inch thick.
Cook the Arepas: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Place the arepas on the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until they form a golden, crispy crust.
Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice open and add fillings of choice. Serve warm.
