Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 8 pieces large iceberg or butter lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 8 slices pickles
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 teaspoons mustard
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix as it can make the burgers tough.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than your desired size to account for shrinkage during cooking.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
Step 4
During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.
Step 5
Remove patties from heat and let them rest for a few minutes to retain their juices.
Step 6
While the patties rest, prepare the lettuce wraps by placing two stacked lettuce leaves per burger to ensure they are sturdy enough to hold the components.
Step 7
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and the red onion into thin rings.
Step 8
Assemble the lettuce wrap burgers: spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom lettuce leaf, place the burger patty with melted cheese on top, followed by a slice of tomato, a few onion rings, and two pickle slices.
Step 9
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of ketchup and 0.5 teaspoon of mustard over each burger.
Step 10
Top with the remaining lettuce leaf to complete the wrap.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free lettuce wrap burgers.
