Arepa De Maíz Con Queso, a staple of Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine, is a warm, golden corn cake filled or topped with melted cheese. Made primarily from precooked cornmeal, water, and salt, arepas are naturally gluten-free and offer a wholesome source of energy-rich carbohydrates. The addition of cheese brings protein and calcium but can increase the fat and sodium content depending on the type used. Typically grilled or pan-fried, they have a satisfying, slightly crisp exterior and a soft, chewy inside. Arepa De Maíz Con Queso is versatile and can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or paired with beans, avocado, or vegetables for a balanced meal. While it offers essential nutrients from its simple ingredients, moderation is key if monitoring calorie or sodium intake. A beloved comfort food, it celebrates the rich heritage of South American gastronomy.
