Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, corn flour, and fresh produce at any local grocery store. For the authentic touch, look for Queijo prato in the specialty cheese section; if unavailable, a mild, melting semi-hard cheese serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the flours, margarine, salt, and water, adding the water gradually until you reach a pancake-like consistency.
- 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 cooked ground beef in the center of the dough, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the beef for a refreshing crunch.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish by topping the entire filling with the Queijo prato.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
