Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 large leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons mustard (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands to evenly distribute the spices.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time per your preference.
While the patties are cooking, prepare your vegetables by slicing the tomato and avocado, and thinly slicing the red onion.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a minute or two.
To assemble the burgers, lay out two lettuce leaves per burger to form a wrap base.
Place a cooked beef patty on the lettuce, followed by a slice of tomato, a few slices of avocado, and some red onion.
Add a small dollop of low sodium mustard on top of each patty.
Fold the lettuce around the burger to enclose the filling, wrapping tightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium, gluten-free burger.
