Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local markets or major supermarkets in the dry goods and produce sections. For the queijo prato, which is a specific Brazilian yellow cheese, you can substitute with a mild semi-hard cheese like Havarti or mild Gouda if unavailable.
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 so that it is slightly thick.
- Fry the shell on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the shell, spreading it 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 adding the queijo prato over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the shell toward the center, carefully closing the burrito to keep the filling secure.
Observations
This recipe showcases an interpretation of the burrito featuring a light batter made from fine corn flour, which replaces the traditional wheat tortilla. It is a practical preparation, perfect for a hearty snack or a quick dinner. Pro tip: have your filling and assembly components prepped and organized to streamline the process and maintain the warmth of the meat filling.
