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.

6. Step 6: Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll tightly, ensuring the seam is placed down on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Step 7: Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the rolls for garnish.
8. Step 8: Bake the rice paper rolls for 20–25 minutes or until they turn golden and develop a lightly crispy exterior.
9. Step 9: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce such as low-sugar ketchup or a Big Mac-style sauce.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of smoked paprika to the beef mixture before cooking.
• Use turkey or chicken mince instead of beef for a lighter protein option.
• If you prefer a spicier roll, add some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside before rolling.
• Serve with a homemade Big Mac sauce made from mayonnaise, mustard, pickles, and a bit of vinegar for an authentic taste.

Storage

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

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use fresh lettuce instead of shredded lettuce?

Yes, fresh lettuce leaves can be used; just tear them into small pieces to fit easily inside the rice paper rolls.

Are rice paper wraps gluten-free?

Most rice paper wraps are naturally gluten-free as they are made from rice flour, but always check the packaging to be sure if you have gluten sensitivities.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Meat Mixture

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Assembly

• 8 rice paper wraps
• 8 slices low-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup sliced pickles
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions have softened. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat to reduce greasiness and let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Soften Rice Paper Wraps: Soak each rice paper wrap in warm water for 15-20 seconds until pliable but not mushy. Carefully lay the softened wrap flat on a clean towel or board to prepare for filling.
4. Assemble the Rolls: In the center of each rice paper wrap, place one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled beef mixture, a small handful of shredded lettuce, and a few pickle slices. Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it tightly to enclose the filling completely, placing the seam side down on your prepared baking sheet.
5. Add Garnish and Bake: If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each roll for added flavor and texture. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the wraps turn golden brown and develop a lightly crispy exterior.
6. Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They pair wonderfully with low-sugar ketchup or a Big Mac-style dipping sauce for an authentic taste experience.

Notes

• Be careful not to soak rice paper wraps too long to prevent tearing, 15-20 seconds is ideal.
• Drain the cooked beef mixture well to avoid soggy rolls.
• Serve immediately after baking for the best texture; leftover rolls may become chewy.
• Optional: For extra flavor, add a touch of mustard or mayonnaise inside the roll before baking.
• Use low-fat cheddar to keep this recipe lighter and lower in calories.
