AREPAS RELLENAS DE CAMARONES, QUESO Y AGUACATE

Steps:

• Licúa el elote con el agua en la licuadora hasta obtener una mezcla homogénea; viértela en un tazón grande. Agrega la masa harina y la leche; revuélvelas hasta formar una masa suave. Divídela en 6 porciones; aplástalas en círculos de 5 pulgs. Dándoles vuelta de vez en cuando, cocínalos en una plancha o comal grande a fuego medio-alto durante 12 min. o hasta que estén bien doraditos por ambas caras.
• Calienta el aceite en una sartén grande a fuego medio. Agrega los pimientos y el ajo; cocínalos y revuélvelos 1 min. Incorpora los camarones; cocínalos y revuélvelos de 2 a 3 min. o hasta que estén rosados. Agrega los tomates, el cilantro y el jugo de limón; mézclalos un poco. Retira la sartén del fuego.
• Abre las arepas; rellénalas con el queso, la mezcla de camarones y los aguacates.

AREPAS DE QUESO

Steps:

• Shred 3 ounces of the mozzarella and cut remaining 5 ounces into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer shredded cheese to a large bowl and cubed cheese to a medium bowl.
• Add cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and warm water to the shredded cheese and mix to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow cornmeal to absorb liquid. The mixture should resemble soft Play-Doh.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
• With damp palms and fingers, place 1/4 cup arepa mixture into your palm and flatten into a 2 1/2-inch disk. Place 3 to 4 cubes of the mozzarella into the center. Gently fold edges of dough over to cover mozzarella cubes completely, patting to form a cake. Repeat until all dough and cheese has been used.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 3 or 4 arepas and cook until both sides are golden brown and charred in spots, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove to a parchment-lined baking sheet and season with a pinch of the remaining salt. Place in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil, arepas, and salt.

HOMEMADE AREPAS

Steps:

• Stir water and salt together in a bowl. Gradually stir corn meal into water with your fingers until mixture forms a soft, moist, malleable dough.
• Divide dough into 8 golf ball-size balls and pat each one into a patty about 3/8-inch thick.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Working in batches, cook corn patties in hot oil until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer cooked arepas to a paper towel-lined plate to drain until cool enough to handle.
• Slice halfway through each cake horizontally with a thin serrated knife to form a pita-like pocket.
