Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 8 pieces large romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves
• 1 medium sliced tomato
• 1 medium sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup sliced red onion
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons ketchup

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until all spices are well incorporated into the beef.

Step 2

Divide the seasoned beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached for medium doneness.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare your lettuce wraps by carefully separating the lettuce leaves and washing them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Once the patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing one lettuce leaf on a plate. Place the cooked patty on top of the lettuce leaf.

Step 7

Add sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and a few slices of red onion on top of the patty.

Step 8

Spread about 1 tablespoon each of mayonnaise and ketchup on top of the toppings.

Step 9

Finish with another lettuce leaf on top, forming a wrap.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
