Directions
Rosalita’s Arepas Con Queso, From the wonderful cookbook In Nirmala’s Kitchen Arepas can be sweet or savory This recipe is a little of both , These were yummy! I just wanted to add a little tidbit of information for everyone’s edification This is a Colombian arepa, which are sweet and taste pretty much like this In Venezuela this would be something like a cachapa Venezuelans have arepas too, but they are not sweet and are made from precooked white cornmeal These are by no means Mexican food as one commenter said If you like tex-mex It’s no wonder you didn’t like them Different continent ;), They were ok I followed the recipe exactly as written I thought they were extremely greasy and kind of bland But I prefer TexMex to true Mexican food
