Where to find ingredients
You can find wheat flour, corn flour, fresh produce, and ground beef at any local supermarket. For the Queijo prato, look in the cheese aisle; if unavailable, a mild semi-soft cow's milk cheese serves as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so that it is 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 adding the Queijo prato over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, closing the burrito carefully to prevent the filling from leaking.
Observations

It is a practical dish, perfect for a hearty snack or a quick dinner. Pro tip: keep all assembly ingredients organized to speed up the process and maintain the filling's temperature.
