Recipe of Stuffed Corn Cakes
Colombian Stuffed Corn Cakes, known as Arepas, are a delightful blend of crispy corn cakes filled with savory ingredients. The arepas are made from pre-cooked white cornmeal, water, salt, and melted butter, creating a soft and pliable dough. Once cooked to a golden brown, they are sliced open to form a pocket and generously stuffed with shredded chicken, creamy avocado slices, crumbled queso fresco, and a touch of salsa or hot sauce. Garnished with fresh cilantro, these arepas offer a taste of Colombian comfort in every bite.
