Preparation method
- Combine the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a batter consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it remains slightly thick.
- Cook the dough on both sides until firm and lightly golden.
- 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 by topping the filling with the Queijo prato cheese.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
Observations

It is a practical preparation, perfect for a hearty snack or a quick, satisfying dinner. Tip: keep your assembly ingredients prepped and organized to streamline the process and ensure the filling maintains the ideal serving temperature.
