Arepa with spinach and cheese is a delicious twist on the traditional Venezuelan and Colombian staple. Arepas are cornmeal-based rounds with a soft, slightly crispy texture, often split and stuffed with various fillings. This variation combines sautéed spinach, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and creamy cheese, providing a satisfying balance of nutrients and flavor. Spinach adds fiber, antioxidants, and iron, while cheese contributes protein and calcium but also contains saturated fats, so portion control is key. Arepas themselves are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with sensitivities, though they are moderately high in carbs. This savory dish is perfect as a wholesome snack or light meal, offering the comforting qualities of traditional Latin American cuisine while incorporating a nutritious veggie boost. Enjoy it freshly made for the best taste and texture.
