Ingredients

Scale

Beef Patties

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Special Sauce

  • 1/2 cup light mayo (or sour cream)
  • 1 tbsp BBQ sauce

Veggies & Wrap

  • 1 head Boston lettuce
  • 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion, sliced
  • 6 sliced pickles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Sauce: Preheat the BBQ grill to medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix the light mayo and BBQ sauce to create the special tangy sauce. Prepare the fresh veggies by washing and slicing the tomatoes, red onion, and pickles.
  2. Season the Ground Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix gently to combine evenly without overworking the meat.
  3. Shape and Grill Patties: Form the seasoned ground beef into thin patties. Place them on the preheated grill and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. When flipping, add the grated cheddar cheese between two patties to melt.
  4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps: Lay large Boston lettuce leaves on plates as the wrap base. Top with slices of pickles and tomatoes, then place the cheesy beef patties on top. Add sliced red onions, and drizzle generously with the prepared BBQ mayo sauce.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the lettuce wraps immediately while the patties are warm. Enjoy this fresh, flavorful, and low-carb burger alternative that’s perfect for any meal or gathering.

Notes

  • You can substitute light mayo with sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce for different flavor profiles.
  • Boston lettuce is preferred for its crisp large leaves, but iceberg lettuce can be used as an alternative.
  • For added spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
  • To keep it dairy-free, omit the cheddar cheese or replace with a non-dairy cheese alternative.
