Allergens

Contains no common allergens unless specified.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of Colombian sarsa (vegan) 1 cup of arepa flour (preferably masarepa) 1/4 cup of coconut oil 1/2 cup of chopped onions 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 cup of diced tomatoes 1/2 cup of cooked black beans 1/2 cup of fresh guacamole 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro Salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon of lime juice Optional: Vegan cheese for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by making the sarsa. In a blender, combine Colombian sarsa ingredients, including water, garlic, cumin, salt, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth and set aside.
2. Next, prepare the arepas. In a large bowl, mix together the arepa flour with salt and water to form a soft dough. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round balls. Then, flatten each ball between your palms or on a flat surface and press a hole in the center of each one.
3. Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the arepas until they're golden brown on both sides. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. In another pan, saute the onions and garlic until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes and continue cooking for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Combine the sautéed vegetables with the black beans in a bowl, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Top with lime juice and chopped cilantro for added flavor and color.
6. Assemble your vegan Colombian breakfast by placing the arepas on a plate and filling them with the bean mixture. Add a dollop of guacamole on top and garnish with vegan cheese, if desired.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy!
