Venezuelan Arepas

Mireidis taught the beginner Spanish language students how to make Venezuelan arepas, a flatbread family staple, made with corn flour, water, and salt. After cooking them in the pan, they finished them off in the oven. Finally, while crispy hot on the outside, they sliced, buttered, and stuffed the soft inside with reina pepiada and carne mechada fillings. They received rave reviews from everyone!
