Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 8 large leaves Lettuce leaves (like iceberg or romaine)
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until well blended, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they reach the desired doneness (ensure internal temperature reaches at least 160°F or 71°C for beef).
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and slice or mash the avocado according to preference.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble each burger by placing a patty on two overlapped lettuce leaves, and top with slices of tomato, onion, and avocado. Add a dollop of Dijon mustard.
Wrap the lettuce around the patty and toppings to enclose them. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free lettuce wrap burger!
