  1. In a bowl, mix the masa harina, water, and 1 teaspoon of salt to form a soft dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in another bowl, toss the cabbage, onion, and vinegar. Season with salt.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the pork and cheddar and season with salt and hot sauce. Form the pork filling into 4 compact balls.

  4. Form the dough into 4 balls and cover with plastic wrap. Working with one ball at a time, flatten it on a sheet of plastic wrap to a 7-inch round. Place a pork filling ball in the center of the dough. Bring the dough up to cover the filling. Gently flatten the ball into a 4-inch patty and patch any holes or tears. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

  5. In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the arepas and fry over high heat, turning once, until golden, crisp, and heated through, about 6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and transfer to plates. Using a slotted spoon, mound the cabbage slaw on top of the arepas and serve with jalapeños, cilantro, and sour cream.
