Arepas con queso recipe
In celebration for the release of of the Encanto Blu-Ray we decided to make Arepas con queso. I grew up in Colombia eating these delicious arepas. You can eat them by themselves, just spread some butter on top of the, or you can eat them with meats or veggies on top of them. 

If you were paying attention, in the movie, Mirabel's mom (Julieta) has the power of healing people with food. In one scene she heals Mirabel with an arepa con queso. Arepas are very popular in Colombia, we eat them alone or with a variety of dishes. Arepas are to Colombians what tortillas are to Mexicans. 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups P.A.N. Yellow Corn Meal (instant white corn masa)
  • 10 oz. water
  • 1/4 tablespoon butter
  • 4 oz. Oaxaca cheese
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese
  • Olive or vegetable oil for cooking

Preparation 

  1. In a large bowl, add in the masa. Mix in the water. The dough shouldn't be stick but should come together or stick together well. If the dough is too sticky add more masa and mix well with your hands. Let sit five minutes.
  2. Mix in the butter into the dough with your hands. Add the Oaxaca cheese and mix well. Make round flat patties that should be as thick as your finger as these will be sliced after cooked and mozzarella added. 
  3. Add a little oil to a non stick frying pan on low /medium heat. Cook for 7 minutes each side. Once done slice the side and add a slice of mozzarella and serve.

About Encanto movie

​The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift -- every child except Mirabel. However, she soon may be the Madrigals last hope when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is now in danger.
