Quick Cheeseburger Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are a lighter take on the classic cheeseburger, perfect for a satisfying yet low-carb meal. You can customize them with your favorite burger toppings!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or sausage)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 head romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed
• Optional toppings: Sliced tomato, red onion, pickles, shredded cheese, avocado, mayonnaise

Cooking Guide:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine ground meat, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Add the meat mixture to the hot skillet and crumble it with a spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned throughout.
4. Drain any excess grease from the pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and Dijon mustard. Cook for an additional minute, until heated through.
5. Assemble the lettuce wraps: Place a scoop of the seasoned meat mixture in each lettuce leaf. Top with your desired toppings (tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, avocado, mayo, etc.).
6. Fold or roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to create a wrap. Enjoy!

Tips:

• For added flavor, toast the lettuce leaves lightly in a dry skillet before assembling.
• Want a cheesier wrap? Add shredded cheese to the meat mixture while it cooks, or place a slice of cheese on top of the meat in each wrap.
• Make it a meal! Serve these wraps with a side of sweet potato fries, onion rings, or a salad.
• Leftover cooked meat can be used in other dishes, such as stuffed peppers, omelets, or scrambled eggs.
