Frozen Arepas - 10 February 2026

Some time ago I wrote about my attempts at preparing some frozen tequeños I bought at a supermarket. I also bought a bag of arepas that time; I think they were around £4 pounds at the time (or 80+ Steem) :

_{I wonder whether this is a well-known brand.}

As you can see in the bag above there were 5 ready-made arepas that I just needed to either fry or put in the oven. I opted for the oven method because I thought it was faster and cleaner.

It was a very straightforward process, but I just couldn’t think what to have on mine !

While I was spreading some butter and my friend cut me a bit of her cheese for me to try, I couldn’t resist taking a photo of the face that appeared on it :

_{My arepa didn’t look very impressed !}

I ended up adding some slices of cucumber on mine as you can see in the first photo to make it refreshing and crunchy. I was actually surprised that after 10 minutes in the oven the ‘dough’ was still soft enough to fold in half.

Anyway I was just wondering what you have on your arepas. Do you mainly put cheese and then melt the cheese using the arepa as a pizza base ? Do you have arepas instead of bread ?

I still have another box of frozen tequeños, but this time I’ll just fry them, as @marito74 suggested, in a bit of oil to see if it works for me.

Thank you for reading !
