NOTE: Arepa flour is precooked corn flour, not to be confused with 
masa harina. Sometimes sold as masarepa or harina precocida, it can 
be found in Latin markets and some supermarkets

Combine arepa flour and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in the 
center and add 2 1/2 cups warm water. Using a wooden spoon, gradually 
incorporate dry ingredients, stirring until no dry lumps remain. Let 
rest 5 minutes to hydrate.

Knead dough a few times in bowl, then divide into 8 pieces. Roll each 
piece on work surface into a ball, then gently flatten to about 1/2" thick.

Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 
arepas, cover, and cook until golden brown, 6 - 8 minutes. Uncover, 
flip, and cook (keep uncovered) until other side is golden brown, 6 - 8 
minutes. Transfer arepas to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining 1 
Tbsp. oil and dough.

Split arepas and stuff with desired fillings; serve with lime wedges 
for squeezing over.
