Arepa (Venezuela)

Colombians and Venezuelans will likely disagree on who makes better arepas, but nevertheless, it's become an iconic street food in both countries with slightly differing preparations. Generally speaking, an arepa consists of ground maize dough or cooked flour that is grilled, baked, fried, boiled or steamed into a flat, round shape. They are often topped or stuffed with various savory ingredients, such as cheese, meats, egg, salad, tomatoes, shrimp, fish, avocado, etc.
