Ingredients
Scale
For the patties:
- 1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For assembling:
- 4 large butter lettuce leaves or romaine leaves
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 small tomato (sliced)
- 1/4 red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 dill pickle (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the patties: In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Form into 4 thin patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Add cheese during the last minute to melt.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out lettuce leaves and pat them dry. Spread mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup on the leaves. Layer with tomato, onion, pickles, and a cooked patty. Fold lettuce around the fillings to create a wrap.
- Serve: Secure with toothpicks if needed and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Swap ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- For extra crunch, add sliced avocado or crispy bacon.
- Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble before eating.
