Chef tips
When making arepa dough, it's important to let it rest for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid; if the dough cracks during shaping, add a bit of warm water and knead until you get a soft, springy texture that's easy to work with. For a delicious upgrade, add fresh avocado slices alongside the meat and beans; kids can help fill the warm arepas to create a traditional Venezuelan 'sandwich' that's fun to eat with your hands.
