Ingredients
- 1 cup yuca flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the yuca flour, almond flour, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Slowly add warm water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form.
Step 3
Add olive oil and continue kneading the dough until smooth and homogeneous. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 4
Fold in the grated mozzarella cheese and mix well to distribute it evenly throughout the dough.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat disc, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little olive oil.
Step 7
Place the arepas on the hot skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until a golden crust forms and the arepas are cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked arepas to a plate to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with your favorite low-carb toppings!
