Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce or iceberg lettuce (large leaves)
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 4 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Pickles, sliced
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until ingredients are just combined. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, approximately ½ inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil to the pan.
Once the oil is hot, place the beef patties in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until nicely browned.
Flip the patties and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F for well-done.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the lettuce leaves by washing and patting them dry. Use two leaves per burger for added crunch and support.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
To assemble, lay two lettuce leaves flat and place one beef patty on top. Add a slice of tomato, sliced red onion, avocado slices, a tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and a few pickle slices.
Fold the lettuce over the filling, tucking in sides to secure, and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining patties and ingredients.
Enjoy your dairy-free, lettuce-wrapped burgers right away!
