Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce and meats at local markets or supermarkets. For the authentic Brazilian touch, look for 'Queijo Prato' in the cheese section of specialty Latin grocers or international food stores; a mild, semi-soft melting cheese like Gouda or Havarti may be used as a 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 it remains 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.
