1
Prepare the basic arepa dough according to recipe directions and set aside to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.

Stir in chopped green chile, peeled and chopped tomatoes, achiote powder, cumin, thyme, black pepper, and salt, mixing well to combine all seasonings.

Divide the arepa dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball, then gently flatten and hollow out the center, leaving a thick shell about ½ inch thick.

Heat oil in another skillet over medium heat and fry each arepa for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, working in batches if necessary.

Carefully cut each fried arepa in half horizontally or create an opening on top, then spoon the warm meat filling (guiso de carne) generously into each arepa.

Serve immediately while the arepas are still warm and crispy, with extra guiso spooned on top or on the side.
