Arepas — they’re what’s for dinner!

One of the (many, many) nice things about our neighborhood is that we’re walking distance from a couple of supermercados. While everyone else was failing at physical distancing outside the local taco and burrito places and waiting an extra-long time for their Cinco de Mayo dinner pick-up orders, we were relaxed at home enjoying arepas.

We cooked them in butter and topped them with shredded manchego, slices of cilantro-lime sausage, vegetables, guacamole, and cotija cheese (you can never have enough cheese). For dessert, we had coconut flan.
