    Arepas are one of my all-time favorite dishes! If you visit this blog often, you may be rolling your eyes already. I admit, I show a lot of love for many Colombian dishes, especially arepas, and while I love a variety of food, there are few I would classify as a favorite. The famous arepa definitely merits a “favorite” status.

    If you ask my mom, growing up I could eat arepas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. She made dozens of arepas on weekends and kept them in plastic bags in the freezer for the week. Sometimes in the middle of the week she needed to make a new batch, because I ate all of them! Years have passed and nothing has changed, I still eat arepas every single day.

    I made these arepas with beef chili, guacamole, cheese and a dollop of sour cream the other night, and they were so good! A gloriously messy, hand-held dinner.

    Buen provecho!
