How To Make It
Step 1: We begin the preparation of our mortadella and cheese arepa, In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water, kneading until the dough is smooth and uniform. Take a portion of the dough, roll it into a ball, then flatten and shape it into a circular disc (as shown in the video) and repeat this process until all the dough is used. Place the arepa in a preheated skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 7 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 7 minutes, or until both sides are golden and toasted.
Step 2: Next we cut our cheese in slices of approximately one finger thick and cook it in a frying pan at medium temperature until it has browned on both sides, finally we open our arepa and fill it to taste with the mortadella and cheese.
