Arepa for stuffing X10

The arepa is a round cornmeal cake thick’er, ideally to stuff after cooking with beans, avocado, beef or chicken, cheese, avocado, or whatever. This kind of arepa is a symbol of Colombian and Venezuelan gastronomy and one of the most common pre-Hispanic foods still popular. Easy to cook, you can fry, grill on a pan, or cook in the oven.  How am I know they are ready? When the cover is crunchy. Arepas do not contain yeast, baking soda, or baking powder and are made with pre-cooked cornmeal.
