Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Harina P.A.N. (pre-cooked cornmeal)

2 ½ cups warm water

½ tsp salt

1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)

Optional fillings: shredded cheese, avocado, chicken, or black beans

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Harina P.A.N. and salt. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the mixture comes together.
2. Form the Dough: Let the dough sit for about 2-3 minutes to absorb the water. Knead briefly until smooth.
3. Shape the Arepas: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a round patty about ½ inch thick.
4. Cook the Arepas: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Place the arepas on the skillet, cooking for 5-7 minutes on each side until they form a golden, crispy crust.
5. Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice open and add fillings of choice. Serve warm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

Can I use regular cornmeal instead of Harina P.A.N. to make arepas?

No, Harina P.A.N. is a pre-cooked cornmeal specifically made for arepas. Regular cornmeal won’t achieve the right texture.

How do I know if the arepas dough has the correct consistency?

The dough should be moist but not sticky and easy to shape. If it cracks or feels dry, add a bit more water; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra Harina P.A.N.

What fillings go well with arepas?

Popular fillings include shredded cheese, avocado, black beans, chicken, and scrambled eggs. You can get creative with any favorite ingredients!

Can I make arepas ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare arepas in advance. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat on a skillet or in the oven before serving.
