Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) ground beef (80% lean)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped onions

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 head of butter lettuce (or any preferred lettuce, like romaine)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup dill pickles, diced

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mustard

Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lettuce: Carefully separate the leaves of the butter lettuce, ensuring they remain intact. Rinse and dry them gently. Set aside.

    Make the Beef Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onions, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.

      Shape the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and shape them into mini patties, roughly 1-inch in diameter.

        Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mini patties to the skillet in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. (Cook longer if you prefer them well done.)

          Assemble the Wraps: Once the mini patties are cooked, place them on individual butter lettuce leaves. Top each patty with a dollop of ketchup, mustard, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced pickles.

            Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill for added color and flavor.

              Serve: Arrange the assembled lettuce wrap bites on a platter and enjoy immediately, or serve as a fun appetizer at your next gathering!
