Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, corn flour, fresh produce, and margarine at any local grocery store or supermarket. For the Queijo prato, visit specialty Brazilian markets or deli sections that carry South American cheeses; a mild, semi-soft melting cheese like Havarti can be used as a substitute if necessary.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it out so it is slightly thick.
- Cook the wrap on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the wrap, spreading it out gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat to provide freshness.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish with the Queijo prato layered over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the wrap toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
Observations
This recipe presents a localized version of the burrito, using a light batter made from fine corn flour that replaces the traditional wheat tortilla. It is a practical dish, perfect for an elevated snack or a quick dinner. Pro tip: have your assembly ingredients prepped and organized to streamline the process and keep the filling warm.
