Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 4 slices cheese slices
- 0.25 cup gluten-free ketchup
- 0.25 cup mustard
- 4 slices pickles
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.
Step 3
Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 4
Grill or cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. If using a skillet, turn the heat down slightly to prevent burning.
Step 5
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Use two leaves per burger for stability.
Step 7
Slice the tomato and red onion into thin slices.
Step 8
To assemble, place a cooked patty on two stacked lettuce leaves. Top with tomato slices, onion, pickles, and your choice of gluten-free ketchup and mustard.
Step 9
Wrap the lettuce leaves around the fillings and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your gluten-free lettuce-wrapped burger.
