Kids will enjoy helping assemble the rolls, and adults will appreciate how guilt-free and flavorful they are.

Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wraps
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon 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 to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and fully cooked. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Drain any excess fat from the pan and let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrap for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Place the softened wrap on a clean towel or cutting board. Layer with one slice of cheddar cheese, a few spoonfuls of the beef mixture, a bit of shredded lettuce, and a few pickle slices.
  6. Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it up tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Repeat with the remaining wraps and filling. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the rolls for a classic Big Mac feel, if desired.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low-carb dipping sauces!

Pro Tip: For a DIY Big Mac sauce, mix 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon of mustard, 1 teaspoon of finely chopped pickles, a dash of onion powder, and a splash of vinegar.
