Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 leaves large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
- 4 patties vegan burger patties
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 4 slices dill pickles
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 teaspoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare your lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Use large, intact leaves that can wrap around the burger.
2. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds and set aside. Cut the dill pickles into slices if they're not already prepared.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan burger patties and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes per side. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper while cooking.
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese slightly.
5. While patties are cooking, lay out two large lettuce leaves for each burger (to ensure sturdy coverage). Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the inside of each lettuce wrap.
6. Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, place each patty onto the lettuce wraps.
7. Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a few rounds of red onion, a slice of pickle, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 teaspoon of mustard.
8. Wrap the lettuce tightly around the burger and fillings, tucking in the sides as you roll it up. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing vegan lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger!
