Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores. The queijo prato is a specific Brazilian yellow cheese; if unavailable, a mild semi-hard cow's milk cheese like Gouda or Havarti serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you obtain a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so that it is slightly thick.
- Fry the wrapper on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the seasoned sautéed ground beef in the center of the wrapper, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat to add a fresh crunch.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish by topping the entire filling with the queijo prato.
- Fold the edges of the wrapper toward the center, carefully closing the burrito to ensure the filling stays inside.
