- 1
In a bowl, combine 2 cups corn flour, 4 pinches of salt, 4 tablespoons butter, and water. Mix until the dough is smooth and free of lumps. If needed, add more flour until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
- 2
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then divide it into 6 equal parts.
- 3
Dice the pineapple and red onion. Slice the chorizo and chop the parsley to your liking.
- 4
In a skillet, sauté the pineapple and onion. Then add the parsley and chorizo, cooking until the chorizo is browned.
- 5
Start making your arepas. After the dough has rested for 5 minutes, roll each portion into a ball, then flatten with your hands into thick discs, like tortillas. Make them thick enough so you can slice them open later.
- 6
Once you have your six arepas and the skillet or griddle is hot, add your preferred cooking oil and spread it evenly with a paper towel.
- 7
Place the arepas on the oiled griddle. Cook each side for 6 to 7 minutes, flipping once, until both sides are well cooked.
- 8
When both sides are done, get ready to fill them. While still hot, slice each arepa open with a knife, add butter, cheddar cheese, and your chorizo mixture inside.
- 9
Repeat with all the arepas and serve. Arepas are best enjoyed hot or warm. Yum!
