Amazing Arepas

     Made of ground maiz, better known to us as cornmeal, arepas are a form of flatbread common to Latin America, especially Venezuala and Columbia.  In Mexico they are called gordita and in El Salvador called pupusa, they serve a dual purpose.  They can either be the foundation for toppings or can form a sandwich, filled with meat, eggs, cheese, salad or seafood.

     Any way they are prepared these flatbreads are enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner as an appetizer or a main course.  The flat, round, unleavened corncakes can be grilled, baked or fried.

  They are amazingly good and healthy, too!
