We Tried Trader Joe’s Corn and Cheese Arepas
Trader Joe's Corn and Cheese Arepas. They come two to a box, individually wrapped, and I opted to bake them in the oven. I should have gone the stovetop route to get that nice browning on them. And I know you're gonna ask...yes, you can probably throw these in the air fryer and get better…
