Where to find ingredients
Find these ingredients at local grocers and supermarkets. The flours and Queijo prato can be found in the baking and dairy aisles, respectively. As a substitute for Queijo prato, you may use a mild, semi-soft melting cheese like Havarti or Gouda if the original is unavailable.
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 out so it remains slightly thick.
- Cook 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 with the Queijo prato cheese over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the dough toward the center, carefully closing the burrito so the filling does not spill out.
