Una receta colombiana sencilla y deliciosa: Arepas de Queso. Es una receta tradicional y fácil de preparar, ideal para practicar español.

Arepas de Queso

Ingredientes:

2 tazas de harina de maíz precocida (preferiblemente harina PAN)
1 1/2 tazas de agua tibia
1 taza de queso rallado (puede ser queso blanco, mozzarella, o el queso de tu preferencia)
1 cucharadita de sal
Mantequilla al gusto (para cocinar y para servir)

Instrucciones:

Preparar la masa: En un bol grande, mezcla la harina de maíz con la sal. Luego, añade poco a poco el agua tibia mientras mezclas con las manos hasta obtener una masa homogénea y suave. La masa no debe ser ni muy seca ni muy húmeda. Si está muy seca, añade un poco más de agua; si está muy húmeda, agrega un poco más de harina.

Agregar el queso: Incorpora el queso rallado a la masa y mezcla bien hasta que esté distribuido uniformemente.

Formar las arepas: Divide la masa en porciones iguales (alrededor de 6-8 porciones, dependiendo del tamaño que desees). Forma bolas con cada porción y luego aplánalas con las manos hasta obtener discos de aproximadamente 1 cm de grosor.

Cocinar las arepas: Calienta una sartén grande a fuego medio y agrega un poco de mantequilla. Cocina las arepas en la sartén, aproximadamente 5-7 minutos por cada lado, hasta que estén doradas y crujientes por fuera, y el queso se haya derretido en el interior.

Servir: Sirve las arepas calientes con un poco de mantequilla por encima. ¡Disfruta!
