Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets and grocery stores. Look for fine corn flour in the baking aisle and Queijo prato in the deli or refrigerated cheese section; if Queijo prato is unavailable, a mild, good-melting semi-soft cheese is an acceptable substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it slightly so it remains a little thick.
- Fry the dough on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the dough, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat to add freshness.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if you wish.
- Finish by topping all the filling with the Queijo prato.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
Observations
This recipe presents a uniquely Brazilian take on the burrito, utilizing a light, fine corn flour dough that takes the place of a traditional wheat tortilla. It is a practical preparation, perfect for a substantial snack or a quick dinner. Pro tip: have all your filling components prepped and organized to streamline the assembly process and ensure the meat stays warm.
