- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it out so it is slightly thick.
- Fry the wrapper on both sides until it is firm and lightly golden.
- Place a portion of the seasoned ground beef in the center of the wrapper, spreading it gently.
- Distribute a layer of lettuce over the beef to add freshness.
- Add the diced tomato and onion on top, including your preferred sauces if desired.
- Finish with the Queijo prato layered over the entire filling.
- Fold the edges of the wrapper toward the center, carefully closing the burrito to prevent the filling from spilling out.
