Arepas with fish


This was such an amazing combo that I had to have repeats of it ten times.

Ingredients
1 cup masarepa
1-1.5 cup boiling water
0.5 tsp salt
1 tbsp butter
0.25 cup shredded cheddar
0.25 cup diced, pickled jalapenos

2 tilapia filets
1 tsp guava garlic salt

0.25 cup diced red onion
1 avocado
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt
1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce

Preparation
Mix the masarepa with the salt. Pour in the boiling water and stir in carefully. Add the diced jalapenos, cheese and the butter and mix in until blended. Allow to sit. Add more water if the dough feels dry.

Scoop out the avocado and mash with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and hot sauce. Set aside.

Sprinkle the fish with the garlic salt. Seat aside.

Heat a large skillet with a little bit of oil on high heat. Form the masarepa dough into four circular patties. Add them to the large skillet and brown on each side. Remove onto two plates.

Cook the fish in a hot pan with a little oil. Top the arepas with the avocado mash, add the fish pieces and sprinkle the top with red onion. Serve.
