Each rice roll is wrapped in a smooth, slightly shiny white rice sheet, revealing inside layers of textured fillings consisting of small golden-yellow corn kernels, finely crumbled reddish-brown bits that look crispy, and bits of chopped green onions. The rolls are cut in thick segments, and some green onion pieces are scattered around the plate, adding a fresh touch. The focus is sharp on the front roll while rolls behind it gradually blur.

Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wraps
  • 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
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Step 3: Soften each rice paper wrap by soaking it in warm water for 15 to 20 seconds until pliable. Lay each wrap flat on a clean towel or cutting board.
  4. Step 4: In the center of each wrap, place one slice of cheddar cheese, 2–3 tablespoons of the beef mixture, a small handful of shredded lettuce, and a few pickle slices.
  5. Step 5: Fold the sides of the rice paper inward and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
  6. Step 6: Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes, until the wraps are golden and lightly crispy.
  7. Step 7: Allow to cool slightly before serving. These rolls pair well with low-sugar ketchup or a Big Mac-style sauce for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture before cooking.
  • Substitute cheddar with pepper jack or Swiss cheese for a different taste profile.
  • Serve with a homemade Big Mac sauce for an authentic burger experience.
  • To prevent sticking, use a damp towel when handling softened rice paper wraps.

Storage

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the rice paper soggy.

How to Serve

Each roll has three visible layers: a soft, thin, white outer layer wrapping the filling; inside, a mix of white sticky rice and bits of yellow corn; and a topping of crispy golden-brown bits with small green chopped scallions scattered on and around the rolls. The texture shows the shiny, slightly sticky rice grains and crunchy yellow and brown bits, giving a contrast of softness and crispness. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Main Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wraps
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Soften Rice Paper Wraps: Soak each rice paper wrap in warm water for 15-20 seconds until pliable. Lay each wrap flat on a clean towel or board to prepare for filling.
  4. Assemble Rolls: In the center of each softened wrap, place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture, some shredded lettuce, and a few pickle slices.
  5. Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll tightly to encase the filling. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. For an extra touch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each roll if desired.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice paper wraps turn golden and lightly crispy.

Notes

  • Ensure the rice paper wraps are just softened — too much soaking will make them fragile and difficult to roll.
  • Drain the beef mixture well to avoid soggy rolls during baking.
  • Feel free to add a low-sugar or homemade Big Mac-style sauce for authentic flavor.
  • These rolls can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
  • If you want extra crispiness, briefly broil the rolls in the oven at the end, watching carefully to avoid burning.
