    Have I told you about my love affair with Arepas? I could live on arepas alone. I never get tired of them!

    Today I want to share a delicious arepa with you that is popular in Venezuela. Reina Pepiada is basically an arepa, or corn cake, stuffed with a mixture of shredded chicken, mayonnaise and avocado.

    I made my Colombian version, making a thinner arepa and placing the mixture on top, as we do in Colombia, rather than a thicker stuffed arepa, as is traditional in Venezuela. Either way, it is a fantastic arepa dish, with a wonderful combination of flavors.

    Thank you Venezuela for this fantastic traditional arepa dish!

    Buen provecho!

      Thanks to you I too love arepas and my family enjoys them often. I have made these before, one of our favorites. BTW - The Columbian restaurant I just found is amazing and I love there Arepas. I tried some at a Venezuelan restaurant that were not as good!

      So good!! Made these last week and had to go back and make them again today 🙂 LOVE your recipes - my husband is from Colombia (and I am from here) and he loves what I make from your recipes! They turn out so much better than how my mother in law tells me because in her mind a "cup" of something is a lot more than what it is in my mind!
