Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets, specifically in the produce, pantry, and refrigerated dairy aisles. If Queijo prato is unavailable, you may use a mild, meltable cheese such as Gouda or Edam as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you reach a batter consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it stays slightly 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 diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish by topping the entire filling with the Queijo prato.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from spilling out.
