Ingredients

Ground Beef

15 ounces ground beef (10 - 15% fat)
1 small onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
5 slices cheddar cheese (or provolone)

Burger Sauce

½ cup mayonnaise
1.5 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1
1 teaspoon coconut aminos
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
⅓ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper ground

Roll Up

8.5 ounces butterhead lettuce leaves (approx 2 - 5 leaves per roll depending on the size of your leaves)
1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
½ cup pickles sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted (optional)
10 large chard (or cavolo nero stems)

Instructions

Add the ground beef to a non-stick frying pan and fry for 2 minutes, breaking up the beef with a spatula. Add the onion and garlic and cook for a further 4 - 6 minutes or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare the burger sauce by adding all the ingredients to a bowl and stirring to combine.
Add the cheese slices to the top of the beef. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for 2 - 3 minutes. If the beef is dry add a touch of water.
Slice the hard white stalks off the butterhead lettuce leaves.
Lay 3 very large lettuce leaves on a sheet of greaseproof paper (2 on the bottom and 1 on top). Leaving enough space to roll up, top the middle of the leaves with a little cheeseburger beef, tomatoes, pickles, burger sauce and optional sesame seeds.
If your leaves are big enough you can tuck the wides in and rollup like a burrito. If not add 1 - 2 lettuce slices on top and roll up. Don’t overfill the middle or you won’t be able to rollup. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect as we’re going to secure it all with a large chard or cavolo nero leaf.
Cut the woodier part out of the stalk from your chard or cavolo nero leaf. About ⅓ of the way from the bottom. This will help it roll.
Place rolled up lettuce leaf inside larger chard / cavolo nero leaf and rollup. Slice in half. Serve with extra burger sauce. Serving size is 2 large rolls or 4 halves per serving.
Option to use all chard leaves if you can’t find really large lettuce leaves as this is easier to roll.
Storage: Best Fresh
