    You can serve this dish with Colombian chorizo, avocado and beans on the side. Migas de Arepa is designed to use up old corn arepas. The results won't be the same if you use arepas made with masarepa. And by the way, migas means “crumbs" in English.

    Buen provecho!

        But…. Whoever has leftover arepas? My family (especially my Colombian husband) gobbles them! There’s usually only 1-2 leftover!

      This sounds good. Could corn tortillas be substituted for the corn arepas with good result?

      I tried arepas in a place in Dallas called Zaguan; I did not know they were columbian. Looks so good, but I will have it as a lunch instead!

      I was wondering what to do with left over arapas? Now that we can get Harina Pan in Ireland (some shops think it is Mexican Masa and I think that's hilarious but not my problem) I'm making them more often and it is very hard to just make two. I have some in the fridge right now I might try these with, or I suspect they might also work for stuffing or crumbs for a vegetable bake. I love your blog! The cooking is close to what I learned in Venezuela when I spent a few months there in the 1970's and I really miss the food.
