Monday Menu: Chicken Arepas

Chicken Arepas
Remember the leftover Buffalo sauce from this cook?  Well, I used 1/4 cup of sauce as part of the water called for to make arepas.  Dan said it provided "kick" to the sandwich.  It also made them a pretty pretty color.


Very yummy.  I stuffed them with asiago prior to cooking, and made them a bit thinner than last time.  You can see the cheese that stuck to the outside got a bit burned on the leftmost one.

I like that I can control the sodium in arepas - far different from buying pre-made wheatless bagels or breads to make sandwiches.  It takes about 15 minutes to make them, all told, and well worth the time.
