Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, fine corn flour, and fresh vegetables at local markets or grocery stores. Queijo prato is a specific Brazilian cheese; as a substitute, you may use any mild, semi-soft melting cheese like Gouda or Havarti.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until the batter reaches a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it slightly so that it remains somewhat thick.
- Cook the flatbread on both sides until it is firm and lightly browned.
- Place a portion of the sautéed ground beef in the center of the flatbread, 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 with the Queijo prato cheese over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the flatbread towards the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Observations
