Where to find ingredients
Find the flours and fresh produce at local markets or neighborhood grocery stores. Queijo prato is a specific Brazilian cheese; if unavailable, a mild, semi-soft melting cheese like Gouda or Havarti can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a batter consistency similar to pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour a portion of the batter, spreading it so it remains 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 sauces of your preference if desired.
- Finish by adding the Queijo prato cheese over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
