Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at your local neighborhood grocery stores or supermarkets. Look for the 'flours and grains' aisle for the corn flour, and the 'dairy and deli' counter for local cheeses like queijo prato; if unavailable, mild-flavored melting cheeses like Gouda can serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a pancake-like batter consistency
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so that it is slightly 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 desired
- Finish by adding the queijo prato over the entire filling
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, carefully closing the burrito to keep the filling from spilling
Observations
This recipe presents a uniquely Brazilian take on the classic burrito, swapping traditional wheat tortillas for a light, fine-ground corn flour dough. It is a practical choice perfect for a hearty snack or a quick, satisfying dinner. Tip: Have all your assembly ingredients organized beforehand to speed up the process and keep the filling hot.
