Meat Filling For Arepas Recipe 45

Steps:

• 1.Place first 12 ingredients in Electric Skillet and cook until meat is done [about 20 minutes] 2. Stir in olives and capers. 3. Split arepas [see basic arepa recipe] and fill with meat. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• To make arepas: In large bowl, stir corn flour, water and salt with spoon; let rest 1 minute or until mixture thickens. Stir in mozzarella cheese. Form 4 balls of dough, using about 1/2 cup dough each. Place each ball on plastic wrap; shape each into 3 1/2-inch circle, 3/4 inch thick.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook arepas in oil about 4 minutes on each side, until dark spots appear on both sides. Place arepas on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until fully cooked and hollow sounding when tapped. Cool about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make chicken filling. In medium bowl, mix all filling ingredients until well blended. To serve, slice each arepa vertically but not all the way through. Fill each with about 1/2 cup filling.

Steps:

• Heat dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat, peppers and onions; cook 10 min. or until meat is browned, stirring occasionally. Drain. Stir in tomato sauce; bring to boil. Add raisins and capers; simmer on medium-low heat 15 min. or until no liquid remains, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, mix masarepa and water in large bowl until blended. Add egg and 1/2 cup cheese; mix well. Let stand 5 min. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each into ball, then flatten to 4-inch patty, moistening hands with water as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Cook patties (arepas), in batches, on hot griddle sprayed with cooking spray on medium-high heat 8 to 10 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Split arepas; fill with meat mixture and remaining cheese. Top with avocados.
