Homemade Corn-Based Burrito with Ground Beef (Burrito)

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup fine cornmeal
1 tablespoon margarine
Salt to taste
Water as needed
Sautéed and seasoned ground beef to taste
Lettuce, shredded into very thin strips
Finely diced tomato and onion
Queijo prato cheese, cut into strips or grated

Where to find ingredients

Find these ingredients at any local supermarket. For Queijo prato, you can source it from specialty delicatessens or Latin American grocers; as a substitute, a mild, semi-hard cheese like Havarti or Monterey Jack works well.

Preparation method

  1. Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it is slightly thick.
  3. Cook the wrap on both sides until firm and lightly golden.
  4. Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the centre of the wrap, spreading it gently.
  5. Distribute a layer of lettuce over the beef to add freshness.
  6. Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
  7. Finish by topping the filling with the Queijo prato cheese.
  8. Fold the edges of the wrap toward the centre, sealing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.

Observations

This recipe presents a Brazilian-style take on the burrito, using a light, thin cornmeal batter that replaces the traditional wheat tortilla. It is a practical choice for a hearty snack or a quick dinner. Pro tip: have all your assembly ingredients prepped and organized beforehand to streamline the process and keep the filling warm.
