Arepas are my all time favourite street food. They’re made from corn flour and they’re from South America, typically Venezuela and Colombia.
If you haven’t tried them yet you need to! I highly recommend Harina P.A.N and that’s what I used and the one that works perfectly every time!
What you need:
- Arepa flour (yellow corn flour)
- Water
- Salt
- Avocado
- Tomatoes
- Lime
- Salt and pepper
- Black beans
- Plantain
