Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, margarine, fresh produce, and ground beef at major supermarkets across the island. For ingredients like queijo prato, look in the specialty cheese section or at international grocery stores that stock Brazilian items.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach 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 stays a bit thick.
- Fry the dough on both sides until it is 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 meat to add freshness.
- Add the chopped tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish by topping the entire filling with the queijo prato cheese.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
