Burger Wraps

The Burger Wraps recipe features a healthier take on traditional burgers. Instead of bread buns, this recipe uses Bibb lettuce leaves to wrap around the burger ingredients, creating a lighter, crunchier alternative. The main components typically include lean ground beef or ground turkey, mixed with spices and formed into patties. These patties are then cooked to your preference. Once cooked, they are placed inside the lettuce leaves and topped with slices of avocado and other preferred toppings like tomatoes or onions.

The unique aspect of this recipe is its emphasis on fresh flavors and ingredients, making it a suitable option for a nutritious meal. It’s quick to prepare, making it perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner.
