Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 pieces Large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, sliced
- 4 slices Pickles
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps. Lay two large lettuce leaves overlapping slightly to form a sturdy base for each wrap on your workspace.
Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
Place each burger patty onto the center of a prepared lettuce leaf wrap.
Top each burger with a slice of tomato, some red onion, and a pickle slice.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a bit of mustard over the toppings.
Carefully wrap the lettuce leaves around the burger and toppings, folding the sides as you would a burrito, ensuring a snug wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free lettuce-wrapped burger!
