How to make Arepas: This Arepas with Chile Verde Chicken & Guasacaca recipe makes a low carb and keto friendly arepa dough stuffed with Chile verde chicken, creamy Guasacaca Avocado Salsa and a tangy slaw. Put mozzarella and cream cheese in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for one minute.
This arepas recipe is gluten free and you can literally eat them with anything you like! Slowly mix the corn flour into water until smooth, adding salt and oil. Divide into about 8 portions. Use oil or water on hands to keep dough from sticking to hand. Shape into balls and flatten with palms of hands to form large patty shape.
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.
These simple arepas only require water, cornmeal, butter, and salt, and they come together in just 16 minutes. They're simple and straightforward, but that doesn't mean you can't dress them up — try utilizing them like sandwiches and filling them with various meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
