Where to find ingredients
Find the flours and fresh produce at local supermarkets or neighborhood grocery stores. For the queijo prato, you can look for it in the deli section of specialty cheese shops or use a mild, semi-hard cheese like Edam or Havarti as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a batter consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so that it is slightly thick.
- Fry the batter 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 beef to provide freshness.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish by adding the queijo prato over all the filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
