Ingredients

- 4 patties vegan burger patties
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 1 large tomato
- 1 small red onion
- 4 slices dill pickles
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons ketchup
- 4 teaspoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare your lettuce leaves by washing them thoroughly and patting them dry. Use large, intact leaves that can wrap around the burger.
Step 2
2. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds and set aside. Cut the dill pickles into slices if they're not already prepared.
Step 3
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the vegan burger patties and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes per side. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper while cooking.
Step 4
4. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of vegan cheese on each patty and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese slightly.
Step 5
5. While patties are cooking, lay out two large lettuce leaves for each burger (to ensure sturdy coverage). Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise on the inside of each lettuce wrap.
Step 6
6. Once the patties are cooked and cheese is melted, place each patty onto the lettuce wraps.
Step 7
7. Top each patty with a slice of tomato, a few rounds of red onion, a slice of pickle, 1 tablespoon of ketchup, and 1 teaspoon of mustard.
Step 8
8. Wrap the lettuce tightly around the burger and fillings, tucking in the sides as you roll it up. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing vegan lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger!
