A Colombian street food staple, arepa is made by charring a flat whole-grain corn dough and filling it with spicy shredded beef. With its gluten-free corn dough and spicy filling, this sandwich-family recipe makes a filling dinner.
Put the beef, halved onion and salted water in a pot and bring to a boil.
Simmer the beef covered over low heat for 30 minutes, then shred it with two forks once tender.
Sauté the garlic, tomato and chili in oil, season with cumin, then stir in the shredded beef and cook for 10 more minutes.
Knead the corn flour with warm salted water into a smooth dough and shape into flat rounds.
Cook the arepas in a hot pan until lightly crusted on both sides, then split them open and fill with the beef mixture.
If the arepa dough cracks around the edges while shaping, add a few drops of warm water and knead again, or the edges will break apart while cooking.
Boiling the beef a day ahead and chilling it makes shredding much easier; cold meat pulls apart in neat strands, while hot meat tends to fall apart unevenly.

Acı biber yerine birkaç damla hazır acı sos kullandım ama istediğim acılık seviyesine gelmedi, tadı biraz yavan kaldı. Mısır hamurunu da tavada pişirirken iki tanesi ortadan çatladı, hamuru biraz daha kalın açmam gerekiyormuş.
