About Arepas con queso

Arepas Con Queso are a traditional Latin American dish, particularly popular in Colombia and Venezuela. These savory, golden cornmeal patties are made from pre-cooked corn flour, water, and a pinch of salt, mixed into a dough and stuffed or topped with melty cheese. Often grilled or pan-fried, arepas have a crispy exterior and a tender, cheesy interior. They are naturally gluten-free and offer a good source of energy from their carbohydrate content. The cheese provides protein and calcium, though its saturated fat content should be considered in larger servings. These versatile treats can be enjoyed on their own or paired with fresh vegetables, avocado, or lean protein for a balanced meal. While delightful and comforting, moderation is key, as frying and high-fat cheese variations can contribute to increased calorie intake.
