Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local grocery stores and supermarkets. Look for fine corn flour in the baking aisle, and Queijo prato in the deli or refrigerated cheese section. If Queijo prato is unavailable, use mild gouda or edam as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it slightly so it remains 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 gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat for added freshness.
- 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.
