Ingredients
- 2 cups yuca flour
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour and sea salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a soft and pliable dough forms.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead with your hands for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. If necessary, add a little more yuca flour if the dough is too sticky, or a bit more water if it's too dry.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape each part into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc, about 4 inches in diameter and around 1/2 inch thick.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, place the arepas in the skillet, careful not to overcrowd them.
Step 6
Cook the arepas for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of fillings such as avocado, beans, or shredded chicken for a complete and satisfying meal.
