They are called arepas. They are from Central and South America.
Here's a decent recipe.

Arepa. Ecuadorean, I think. Or Colombian. Awesome.
First I've heard of them as Mexican but I'm sure as heck no authority
on it.

I was guessing Mexican, guess that was kind of un-PC. I should have said
Latin American or something similar

Hopefully I have not offended anybody.

Why ? There's no Latin American cuisine. Although man dishes overlap,
every country has its specialities.

Arepa. In Colombia they are served as a corn bread to be eaten along
with an entree. In Venezuela they cut a slit horizontally and stuff
them (with meat, often), like a big corn torta. I recall they use a
different corn flour (masa) than corn tortillas, but don't remember
what it's called. Don't know about Ecuador. -aem

Ecuador could be wrong. I have some in my freezer that I bought at the
Festival of Nations last spring ‹ they have cheese in the middle and are
really good! One recipe I saw called for arepa flour. :-)

I make arepas using Goya brand Masarepa, which I find in the regular
grocery store. (I'm on the US East Coast.) There's a simple recipe
on the package that I find works fine.
