Arepa with cheese and guasacaca is a popular dish rooted in Venezuelan cuisine. An arepa is a round, golden cornmeal patty that is griddle-cooked until crisp on the outside and tender inside. This version is filled with melted cheese for creaminess and paired with guasacaca, a zesty avocado-based sauce made with lime, cilantro, garlic, onions, and green peppers. Rich in flavor and texture, it delivers a satisfying balance of creamy, tangy, and savory notes. The arepa provides gluten-free carbohydrates, while guasacaca is packed with heart-healthy fats, vitamins, and antioxidants from the avocado and fresh ingredients. However, the inclusion of cheese may contribute saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key for balanced nutrition. Combining hearty tradition with fresh elements, this dish embodies both comfort and vibrant flavor in one bite.
