How to Eat a Hamburger Without a Bun

Well, today was my first day back at the gym since probably mid-October. It was not pretty, but at least my dinner was. My roommate asked me what I call it. I said, "Hamburger Lettuce Wraps." She thought it should have a silly name like "Naked Burger Tacos." Call it what you want. All I care about is that it hit the spot-- and this recipe does every time! If you're jonesing for a hamburger but trying to lay off the carbs and fat, you've got to try this!


Ingredients:
- Ground beef (I use 93% lean.)
- Steak Seasoning
- Olive oil
- Boston lettuce
- Tomato
- Onion
- Pickle
- Mustard

Directions:
Take your ground beef out of the fridge, form into patties and rub on the steak seasoning. You can use whatever seasoning you want. I prefer Montreal Steak. Let the meat come to room temperature before frying. Once the meat is ready, drizzle a little olive oil in the pan and get it hot! Add the patties and cook until there's a nice, brown crust on the bottom, then flip and repeat until cooked through. You should not have to flip your burgers more than once!


While your burgers are frying, slice up your favorite toppings. Also, remove several leaves from the head of Boston lettuce. 


Once the burgers are finished, cube them up into large chunks. Then, layer two pieces of lettuce on top of each other, followed by the burger chunks and the rest of the toppings! 


Finally, fold it up like a taco and chow down!
