Are you about the lettuce wrap life?
If you are looking for easy meals that taste incredible, this is a great high protein lowcarb burger wrap with a healthier homemade burger sauce. Plus, the onions are an unebelviable thing to keep on hand for different meals throughout the week.
Here’s how I made it:
1.Start by caramelizing 2 yellow onions. Thinly slice them up and cook low and slow in 1 tablespoons of butter with a couple pinches of salt, stirring often for 25-30ish minutes until golden, then add a splash of balsamic at the end to bring out the color and sweetness.
2.Mix 1 lb ground beef with a few pinches of salt, cracked pepper, 2 teaspoons onion powder, and 2 teaspoons sweet paprika, then shape into 5–6 patties.
3.Cook the patties in a hot pan until golden and crusted, then top with sharp cheddar and let it melt.
4.While those cook, slice your tomato, grab some pickles, and prep whatever toppings you love.
5.For the sauce, mix 2 tablespoons mayo (or thick Greek yogurt if you’re feeling it), 2 tablespoons unsweetened ketchup, 1–2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1 tablespoon relish or ½ a grated dill pickle—taste and adjust until it’s exactly how you like it.
6.Grab 2 romaine lettuce leaves, overlap them slightly, and cut a slit about a third of the way up from the bottom so you can fold it into four.
7.Fill each quadrant: burger and mustard in one, sauce and tomato in another, caramelized onion in the next, and pickles or other toppings in the last—then fold it up and devour.
Didn’t miss the bun one bit.
