Ingredients

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

6 slices American cheese

2 large heads iceberg or romaine lettuce, rinsed and dried

2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

Burger Spread

¼ cup light mayonnaise

3 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon dill pickle relish

Dash of salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the cooking surface
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat.

Prepare the burger mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, seasoned salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix gently until just combined.

Form the patties
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten to form burger patties.

Cook the burgers
Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness. If using a skillet, cook 3 patties at a time to avoid overcrowding.

Add the cheese
Place one slice of American cheese on each burger and allow it to melt slightly.

Prepare the spread
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Assemble the lettuce wraps
Place each cooked burger on a large lettuce leaf. Add a spoonful of the burger spread, then top with tomato slices and red onion.

Wrap and serve
Fold the lettuce around the burger and serve immediately.

Notes

Iceberg or romaine lettuce works best because the leaves are sturdy and crisp.

Add optional toppings like pickles, avocado, mustard, or bacon for extra flavor.

For extra crunch, use two lettuce leaves per wrap.

Store leftover patties in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
