Arepas are not Mexican food in the first place but similar to gordita's.
Arepas are from Venezuela and filled with different stuffings like
gorditas. I noted this reciped was not a typical arepas or at least
what I learned to make. Most often arepas
are made just using the aprea mix, salt and water without all the cheese
and stuff in the batter.

I am more interested in recipes tried and proven in our own home
kitchens as opposed to something found on a web site.
Yes, I did visit the link.

These arepas and gorditas remind me of a street snack found in Paraguay
that I lived on for a while, easy to make and rather novel, but not even
close to Mexican food.

These are stolen from a

Colombian arepa lady, who periodically appears like a heavenly apparition on
a not-too-savory street corner between 12 and 3 in the morning, hawking the
most lusciousarepas (white corn cakes) slathered with butter and white
cheese.
