3-MINUTE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
• Dust a clean surface with semolina flour. Dust the pizza dough with more flour and divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion of dough, rotating frequently, to a thin round, dusting with more semolina to prevent sticking. Use a fork to poke holes all over the pizza crusts.
• Gently heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add 1 pizza dough to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for 2 minutes more. Use a fork to puncture any air pockets that rise as the dough cooks. Transfer the cooked pizza crust to the wire rack to cool and sprinkle with flaky salt. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding more olive oil as needed.
• Top the crust with the tomato sauce, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, and garlic chips, if using.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

ENCANTO-INSPIRED AREPAS CON QUESO WITH AVOCADO MASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the arepas: Add the cornmeal to a medium bowl. Pour in the water, then add the salt and stir with a rubber spatula to combine. The dough will look quite wet at first, but will absorb the water as you stir.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and roll into an 8-inch long, 2-inch (5 cm)-wide log. Cut into 4 equal pieces.
• Flatten one piece of dough in the palm of your hand into a 4-inch-wide disc. Place 1 tablespoon of queso blanco in the center, then fold the dough around the cheese to encase. Flatten the dough again into a 4½-inch-wide disc (if some cheese peeks out, pinch the dough closed around it. Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Grease the pan with nonstick spray, then add the arepas to the pan and cook, without disturbing, until a crispy, golden brown crust forms, 3½-4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 3-4 minutes more (some cheese may ooze out a bit; it will sear and add a delicious texture to the arepa).
• Meanwhile, make the avocado cilantro mash: Add the avocado, lime juice, red pepper flakes, and salt to a medium bowl and mash with a fork to combine.
• Spread the butter over the arepas, then serve with the avocado mash and a sprinkle of cilantro.
• Enjoy!
