Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at local supermarkets. Look for the 'queijo prato' in the deli section or specialty shops that stock Brazilian food items; as a substitute, you may use a mild, semi-hard yellow cheese like Gouda or Havarti.
Preparation method
- Mix the flours, margarine, salt, and water gradually until you achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and pour in a portion of the batter, spreading it so it remains slightly thick.
- Cook the dough on both sides until 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 wrap carefully to prevent the filling from spilling.
