Arepa with Black Beans and Cheese
Griddled corn arepas stuffed with savory shredded chicken, seasoned black beans, and salty crumbled cheese for a satisfying meal with a crisp golden crust.
INGREDIENTS
0.33 cup Pre-cooked cornmeal
0.33 cup Warm water
0.25 tsp Sea salt
4 oz Cooked shredded chicken breast
0.25 cup Canned black beans
1 oz Queso fresco
1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
0.25 tsp Ground cumin
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the pre-cooked cornmeal, sea salt, and warm water.
Knead the dough for 2 minutes until smooth and let it rest for 5 minutes to hydrate.
Divide the dough and shape into a thick, round patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and sear the arepa for 5-7 minutes per side until a crisp golden crust forms.
While the arepa cooks, warm the black beans in a small saucepan with cumin and garlic powder.
Slice the warm arepa halfway through to create a pocket.
Stuff the arepa with the shredded chicken breast, seasoned black beans, and crumbled queso fresco.
