Arepa andina

Arepa Andina is a variety of Venezuelan arepas, distinguished from the regular arepas by the usage of wheat flour rather than the standard corn flour. This variety of arepa is popular in the Andes region, near the Colombian border, especially in the state of Mérida, where wheat has been cultivated since ancient times. Arepa Andina can be consumed plain, or filled with cheese and vegetables such as tomatoes. It is recommended to pair a plain arepa Andina with a hot cup of coffee.
