Jimmy's Cachapas

---

I was looking for a recipe for cachapas one day so my husband could have some. He lived in venezuela for a couple years and this was one of his favorite foods. He said they served these with a thick slice of either jack or mozzarella cheese. Anyway, i found this online and it's from jimmy's bronx cafe.
