- Place the dough on a grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nice and golden.
- Set the dough aside and let cool down a bit before cutting them (don’t cut all the way through so the filling stays inside better).
- For the filling, heat up some olive oil in a pan. Then add chopped onion and chopped garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Take the mushrooms and divide them into strips with your hands by pulling them apart, then add to the pan and cook until they change color.
- Add some paprika and herbs and salt. Increase the heat to maximum and press the mushrooms on the pan. Then transfer to a bowl.
- Add avocado (previously mashed if its not very ripe, otherwise in pieces and it will melt with the heat of the mushrooms), mayo, some lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Now you can fill the arepas with the combined ingredients and Enjoy!
