Step 1
Blend corn and milk until completely smooth, roughly 2 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in flour, 3/4 cup of cheese, butter, and salt until a thick dough forms.
Step 3
Let dough rest 10 minutes so the flour fully hydrates.

Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Scoop dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a 2.5-inch disk with your hands.
Step 6
Fry arepas 4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and crispy at edges.
Step 7
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
Split each warm arepa and stuff with remaining cheese and avocado slices.
