-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups arepa flour -- (precooked cornmeal), NOTE
2 td kosher salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
shredded cooked chicken -- Desired fillings
(such as pork, stewed black beans with cheese and lime, corn salad
with onion and fresh herbs; for serving)
Lime wedges -- for serving
Mexican
NOTE: Arepa flour is precooked corn flour, not to be confused with
masa harina. Sometimes sold as masarepa or harina precocida, it can
be found in Latin markets and some supermarkets
Combine arepa flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the
center and add 2 1/2 cups warm water. Using a wooden spoon, gradually
incorporate dry ingredients, stirring until no dry lumps remain. Let
rest 5 minutes to hydrate.
Knead dough a few times in bowl, then divide into 8 pieces. Roll each
piece on work surface into a ball, then gently flatten to about 1/2" thick.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4
arepas, cover, and cook until golden brown, 6 - 8 minutes. Uncover,
flip, and cook (keep uncovered) until other side is golden brown, 6 - 8
minutes. Transfer arepas to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining 1
Tbsp. oil and dough.
Split arepas and stuff with desired fillings; serve with lime wedges
for squeezing over.
