Catalina

Instructions

1. Prepare the arepas and let them cool just enough that you can handle them without burning yourself.
2. Mash the avocado flesh with the lime juice and a pinch of salt to a rough purée.
3. Split each arepa on the side without cutting it in half.
4. Butter the inside of each arepa, then add a generous layer of mashed avocado.
5. Slip a thick slice of cheese inside.
6. Heat the catalinas for 3 to 4 minutes in the oven at 180 °C or in a covered frying pan, until the cheese melts, then serve straight away.
