FAMILY AREPAS AS MADE BY CESAR RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C)
• In a large bowl, combine the warm water and salt. Stir until the salt is dissolved.
• Slowly add the arepa flour while stirring. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more water or flour. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl and doesn't stick to your fingers.
• Grab a fist-sized ball of the dough and pass it from one hand to the other to pat into an even, flattened round. Pay attention to the edges so as to not leave cracks.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the arepas, flipping once, until golden brown in color, 5-7 minutes on each side
• Transfer the arepas to the oven and cook for 15 minutes.
• Make the chicken avocado salad: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, avocados, lime juice, onion, bell pepper, garlic, mayonnaise, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
• Cut the arepas in half and stuff with the chicken avocado salad or your favorite fillings.
• Enjoy!

PICADILLO BEEF AREPAS

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat, peppers and onions; cook 10 min. or until meat is browned, stirring occasionally. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce; bring to boil. Add raisins and capers; simmer on medium-low heat 15 min. or until no liquid remains, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, mix masarepa and water in large bowl until blended. Add egg and 1/2 cup cheese; mix well. Let stand 5 min. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into ball, then flatten to 4-inch patty, moistening hands with water as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Cook patties (arepas), in batches, on hot griddle sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 8 to 10 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Split arepas; fill with meat mixture and remaining cheese. Top with avocados.
