If you've ever had a cheese filled arepa, you know what all the hype is about!  Add in some tender pork, melty cheese, and hearty beans… you’ve got yourself a tasty little meal on your hands. 

Equipment

• Revolution InstaGLO® Toaster
• Revolution Toastie Press™ Accessory

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made arepa, sliced in half 
• 3/4 cup pulled pork, pre-cooked
• 1/2 tsp. cumin 
• 1/2 tsp. chili powder 
• 1 Tbsp. green chilis, canned
• 1/4 cup black beans
• Cilantro, for garnish

Directions:

STACK IT.

• In a small bowl, mix together the pulled pork, spices, beans and green chilis. 
• Split arepa in half and add pulled pork mixture and cheese.
• Now close it up with the other half. See how easy that was?

TOAST IT.

• Now place it in the Toastie Press and close and lock the press. Wipe around the outside of the press to clean off any drips with a paper towel. 
• Place the filled Toastie Press into the right slot of your Revolution Toaster with the handles facing out.

Now make your next selection based on the model you have:

• Garnish with chopped cilantro and your favorite cheese. Drizzle with your favorite hot sauce and enjoy!
