Recipe Directions
- Start by shaping your ground beef into burger patties. Season each patty with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- While the patties are cooking, thoroughly wash and dry your lettuce leaves. These will serve as your burger “buns.”
- Once the patties are cooked to perfection, assemble your lettuce wrap burgers by placing a cooked patty on a lettuce leaf.
- Top each patty with tomato slices, onion slices, pickles, cheese (if desired), and your favorite condiments.
- Fold the lettuce leaf around the burger filling, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious lettuce wrap burgers!
