Arepas are a staple food in Colombia, made from a mixture of corn flour, salt, and water which is then formed into a disk-like shape and cooked on a griddle. They can be served plain or stuffed with a variety of fillings such as cheese, meat, eggs, and vegetables. They are typically served as a breakfast or snack food and can also be used as a side dish. The texture of arepas is slightly crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. They are often served with a variety of condiments such as avocado, salsa, or sour cream.
