The Venezuelan arepa (a-ray-pa) is a flat round bread-like patty, made of cornmeal which is grilled then filled with cheese, meats, fish, and/or veggies. They are naturally gluten-free (wheat free) and take the place of bread in most Venezuelan homes. Arepas are eaten at any meal for snacks, and at any time of the day or night!
