Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local markets, neighborhood grocery stores, or larger supermarkets in the produce and dry goods aisles. For the specific cheese, you may use a mild, semi-soft yellow cheese as a substitute for Queijo prato.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it slightly so it remains a little thick.
- Cook the dough on both sides until firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed minced meat in the center of the dough, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat to add freshness.
- Add the chopped tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish with the Queijo prato layered over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
