Where to find ingredients
You can find wheat flour, cornmeal, and fresh produce at any local market or supermarket in Ghana. For the Queijo prato, a mild semi-hard yellow cheese such as Edam or Gouda can be used as a substitute if unavailable.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a batter consistency similar to pancake mix.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it remains slightly thick.
- Fry the wrap on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the wrap, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat for freshness.
- 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 wrap toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
