Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices of low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
Wraps & Garnish
- 8 rice paper wraps
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the finely chopped onion until the beef is browned thoroughly and the onions are soft. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat and let the mixture cool slightly to make wrapping easier.
- Soften rice paper wraps: Soak each rice paper wrap in warm water for about 15-20 seconds until pliable but not overly soft, then lay it flat on a clean towel or board.
- Assemble rolls: Place one slice of cheddar cheese in the center of the softened rice paper. Top with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture, add some shredded lettuce, and a few pickle slices on top.
- Roll and seal: Fold in the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll tightly from one end to the other, placing each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to keep it closed.
- Optional garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each roll for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Bake: Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice paper wraps are golden brown and lightly crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving them with your favorite dipping sauce such as low-sugar ketchup or a Big Mac-style sauce for a delicious low-carb meal.
Notes
- Rice paper can become brittle if soaked too long; soak just until pliable.
- Draining fat from the beef mixture helps prevent soggy rolls.
- Feel free to add a dash of mustard or low-carb mayonnaise inside for extra flavor.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- If sesame seeds are not available, you can garnish with sesame oil before baking for a similar effect.
