Lettuce Burger Wraps Yield 4 people
A properly hot cast iron is everything here, wait the full five minutes and you'll hear it sizzle the moment the burger hits the pan, which means you'll get a real crust instead of a steamed patty. The lettuce wrap is just a vehicle for what you're really after: that seared beef, crispy bacon, and the sauce, so build it all the way and don't hold back.
