Ingredients
Dough:
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup softened cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup masa harina flour recommend Maseca Corn Flour Masa
- ¼ cup Monterrey Jack cheese shredded
Toppings:
- 1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
- 2 cups turkey or rotisserie chicken shredded
- 1 white onion chopped
- 1 cup Salsa of your choice
- 1 cup queso fresco crumbled
Instructions
Arepas:
- Turn on the arepa maker.
- Add milk, salt, and cream cheese to a mixing bowl and whisk until creamy.
- Add sugar, flour, and cheese. Hand mix well until the flour absorbs most of the liquid.
- Divide the dough into four balls. Using slightly moistened hands flatten the dough with your hands and soften the edges so you don’t have any cracks on the edges.
- Spray the arepa maker lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
- Add the arepas to the hot arepa maker, close the cover, and allow the arepas to cook for about 15 minutes.
- While the arepas are cooking you can prepare the shredded leftover turkey listed below.
- Using a wooden spoon, remove the arepas from the hot plate and while still warm, cut the arepas in half.
- Top each arepa with the following toppings.
Turkey:
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add shredded leftover turkey and onion and sauté.
- Top arepas with turkey and onions, pico de gallo or salsa verde and queso fresco.
Notes
- If you don’t have an arepa maker you can still make this recipe and cook them on a skillet with a little oil on medium heat until they are browned and sound hollow when “thumped”.
