Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets like SuperValu, Tesco, or Dunnes Stores. Look for fine corn flour in the baking or international food aisles. For Queijo prato, you may substitute with a mild, semi-soft cheese like Havarti or Edam if not available at specialist delis.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it is slightly thick.
- Fry the batter on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed minced meat in the center of the shell, spreading it out 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 with the Queijo prato on top of the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the shell toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
