How to make
Keto Cheeseburger Lettuce Wrap
Time needed: 15 minutes
Make the perfect keto cheeseburger lettuce wrap
- Create your beef patty
Start by forming the minced beef into a burger patty.
You can pre-cook the patty if you prefer, but I like to cook it and eat it right away.
TIP: Add some seasoning to your patty at this stage to really enhance the burger flavor. - Prepare your burger packaging
Ready your preffered wrapping for the burger, (I use aluminium foil). by lining it with a large Romaine lettuce leaf.
- Build the burger
Place the beef patty onto the lettuce leaf.
Add a tablespoon of low-carb mayo.
Add one generous slice of cheddar cheese.
Then place slices of fresh tomato, cucumber and red onion.
Finally, add the second lettuce leaf on top. - Wrap it up
Now you can wrap it up for later if you’re pre-preparing it for lunchtime, or enjoy it right away.
