Arepas Con Queso
In the movie, Mirabel’s mother, Julieta, has the gift of healing others with the food she prepares.
In one movie scene, after Julieta heals a cut on Mirabel’s hand, Mirabel says, “You just healed my hand with an arepa con queso.”
Delight your guests by learning how to make arepas from Encanto!
Bunuelos
Bunuelos, another food served by Julieta, are Colombian cheese fritters.
Made with cassava flour and fried in oil, these bunuelos are a fun snack or finger food that will make Julieta proud!
Now you can make Julieta Madrigal’s magic buñuelos yourself! 😋 #Encanto is now streaming only on @DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/oBAn4R6SRQ
