Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, cornmeal, and margarine at any local grocery store or supermarket. For the Queijo prato, look for it in the deli or imported cheese section of large supermarkets; if unavailable, a mild, semi-soft cheese like Monterey Jack is a good substitute.
Preparation method
- Combine the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a batter consistency similar to pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour a portion of the batter, spreading it so that it is slightly thick.
- Cook the dough on both sides until it is firm and lightly browned.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the dough, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the beef to add freshness.
- Add the chopped tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish with the Queijo prato sprinkled over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to avoid any filling spills.
