Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 slices Paleo cheese slices
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 1 sliced red onion
- 0.5 cup pickles
- 1 sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and coconut aminos. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until browned.
Flip the patties and place a slice of Paleo cheese on top of each patty. Cover the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the patties are cooked to your desired degree of doneness.
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two.
To assemble the burgers, take two large lettuce leaves and place a cheese-topped patty in the center.
Top each burger with slices of tomato, red onion, pickles, avocado, and a drizzle of mustard.
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the fillings to form a wrap and serve immediately.
