Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 8 pieces large romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 medium sliced tomato
- 1 medium sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup sliced red onion
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until all spices are well incorporated into the beef.
Divide the seasoned beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached for medium doneness.
While the patties are cooking, prepare your lettuce wraps by carefully separating the lettuce leaves and washing them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing one lettuce leaf on a plate. Place the cooked patty on top of the lettuce leaf.
Add sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and a few slices of red onion on top of the patty.
Spread about 1 tablespoon each of mayonnaise and ketchup on top of the toppings.
Finish with another lettuce leaf on top, forming a wrap.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
