Arepas are a staple in Venezuelan cuisine. These delicious cornmeal patties are versatile and can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as cheese, shredded meat, or beans. They are typically cooked on a griddle or in a skillet until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Arepas can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and are often served with avocado, cheese, or a side of black beans.
