Keto Arepa Reina

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

For the arepas:
1 cup almond flour
¼ cup flaxseed meal
¼ tsp salt
½ cup water
2 Tbsp olive oil

For the filling:
4 ounces (113 grams) cooked chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ripe avocado, mashed
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 small tomato, diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseed meal, and salt.

Slowly add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not too sticky.

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a disc, about ¼ inch (0.6 cm) thick.

Place the shaped arepas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

When done, remove arepas from the oven and let them cool to room temperature.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, mashed avocado, chopped parsley, and diced tomato. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix until well combined.

Slice each arepa in half horizontally, creating a pocket. Spoon the chicken avocado mixture into each pocket, distributing evenly.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
