Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle to medium-high heat.
Slice the tomato into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Peel and slice the red onion into thin rings. Set aside along with lettuce and pickle slices.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until seasoning is evenly distributed.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a 1/2 inch thick patty. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Brush the olive oil onto the grill or griddle to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover the grill or use a lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the gluten-free buns on the grill or in a toaster oven until lightly golden and warm.
Assemble the burgers by spreading 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 1 teaspoon of mustard on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the condiments, followed by the burger patty with melted cheese.
Add a tomato slice, a few onion rings, and two pickle slices to each burger.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
