Ingredients

• 500 g Ground beef (or turkey for a lighter option)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 8 large leaves Lettuce leaves (like iceberg or romaine)
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Avocado
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until well blended, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the pan. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until they reach the desired doneness (ensure internal temperature reaches at least 160°F or 71°C for beef).

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and slice or mash the avocado according to preference.

Step 6

Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Assemble each burger by placing a patty on two overlapped lettuce leaves, and top with slices of tomato, onion, and avocado. Add a dollop of Dijon mustard.

Step 9

Wrap the lettuce around the patty and toppings to enclose them. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free lettuce wrap burger!
