In a mixing bowl, combine the arepa flour and salt.

Gradually add the warm water while mixing with your hands.

Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and pliable.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a patty about ½ inch thick.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil.

Place the arepas on the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Let the arepas cool slightly, then split them open and fill with your choice of cheese, avocado, or any desired filling.
