Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local markets or general grocery stores. Look for corn flour in the baking aisle and ask for Queijo prato at the deli counter; if unavailable, a mild, meltable semi-hard cheese like Edam or Havarti serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and enough water gradually until you achieve a batter with a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it remains slightly thick.
- Cook the dough on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the seasoned ground beef in the center of the dough, 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 by layering the Queijo prato over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
Observations
