    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!
