Cauliflower Arepas

Have you ever had an arepa? If not, you are in for a real treat! Arepas are a common staple of Colombia and Venezuela. It is often served with fillings such as cheese, avocado, or split to make sandwiches. I love scrabbled eggs, my tailgate chili recipe and salsa in mine!

These cauliflower arepas are not only super easy but they taste amazing leftover! I suggest making a double or triple batch of these low carb arepas and storing them in the fridge for easy sandwiches!

So my question is for you… what are you going to fill your cauliflower arepas with?
