For a more culturally rich dish you could try and make homemade arepas (corn cakes) but buying them works too. Arepas are eaten at all times of the day, often as a snack or side dish to a main meal. They are used almost like a tortilla but have a slightly sweeter taste. Remember not to crowd the pan when you cook the cutlet strips, you don’t want to over cook them!
