Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at local supermarkets or neighbourhood markets. For the 'Queijo prato', you may check specialized dairy aisles or gourmet shops that stock Brazilian food items.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it slightly so it remains a bit thick.
- Cook the wrap on both sides until firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the wrap, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the meat to add freshness.
- Add the chopped tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish with the Queijo prato over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the wrap toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
