Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at your local supermarket or grocery store. Look for corn flour in the baking or international aisle, and purchase queijo prato (a Brazilian semi-hard cheese) at specialty delis or ethnic markets; mozzarella can be used as a substitute if unavailable.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a batter with a 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 dough on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden
- Place a portion of the sauteed ground beef in the center of the dough, spreading it gently
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the beef to add freshness
- Add the chopped tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if you like
- Finish with the queijo prato over all the filling
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the wrap carefully to prevent the filling from leaking
Observations
This recipe presents a Brazilian take on the burrito, using a light dough made with fine corn flour that replaces the traditional wheat tortilla.
