 Categories: Breads, Poultry, Pork, Beans, Cheese
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      2 c  Precooked corn meal (see
           - note)
      2 ts Salt
  2 1/2 c  Water; warm
           Oil; for pan frying

MMMMM-----------------------FILLING IDEAS----------------------------
           Chipotle
           Chicken; shredded
           Carnitas
           Magic Green Sauce
           Black beans
           Sweet potatoes; sliced in
           - thin pieces, sauteed in
           - olive oil and salt
           Red onions; pickled
           Cotija cheese
 
  Mix the precooked corn meal and the salt. Add the water
  and whisk remove any lumps, then stir until combined.
  Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes.
  
  Using your hands, divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll
  each piece into a ball and flatten in gently to create a
  disk, about 1 inch thick (see pictures).
  
  Heat a thin layer of oil (about 1/4" deep) in a large
  heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the arepas and fry
  for about 6 minutes on both sides. The arepas should get
  a dry fried exterior without getting overly brown. Set
  on paper towels to drain and cool.
  
  Cut the arepas in half and stuff with your fillings!
  
  NOTE: Precooked corn meal is also called arepa flour or
  harina precocida or masarepa. This is not the same as
  masa harina which is uncooked. This version is COOKED
  which means you don't need to bake it all the way
  through in the same way as you would with masa harina
