What You Need

  • 2 Zavor & Co gluten-free arepas
  • 2 slices ham
  • 1.5 oz sharp cheddar, sliced
  • 2 tbsp tangy pickle relish (or chutney)
  • A few lettuce leaves

How to Make It

  1. Warm the arepas in the toaster on high, 2-3 cycles.
  2. Spread pickle relish on one arepa.
  3. Layer the ham, cheddar and lettuce on top.
  4. Close with the second arepa and press gently.
  5. Wrap in paper; the relish binds it and it's good at room temperature.

About This Recipe
