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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rice paper wraps turn golden and lightly crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool slightly. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as low-sugar ketchup or a Big Mac-style sauce, for a tasty low-carb meal.
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.
