Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 large Tomato
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 2

Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the coconut oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the beef patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, to get a good sear.

Step 5

Flip the patties and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.

Step 6

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomato into thick slices, thinly slice the red onion, and slice the avocado.

Step 7

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly.

Step 8

Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute or two.

Step 9

Place two large lettuce leaves on a plate, creating a cross shape. Place a beef patty in the center, top with slices of tomato, onion, and avocado.

Step 10

Drizzle mustard over the toppings as desired.

Step 11

Fold the lettuce leaves to enclose the burger and toppings, making sure everything is snug.

Step 12

Repeat for the remaining patties and serve immediately.
