Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80% lean)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 8 pieces Large iceberg lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, sliced
• 4 slices Pickles
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese (optional)
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Place the beef patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the lettuce wraps. Lay two large lettuce leaves overlapping slightly to form a sturdy base for each wrap on your workspace.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place each burger patty onto the center of a prepared lettuce leaf wrap.

Step 8

Top each burger with a slice of tomato, some red onion, and a pickle slice.

Step 9

Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a bit of mustard over the toppings.

Step 10

Carefully wrap the lettuce leaves around the burger and toppings, folding the sides as you would a burrito, ensuring a snug wrap.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free lettuce-wrapped burger!
