1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 small red onion
1 avocado
Instructions
Mix ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Divide into 4 patties.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
Add cheese slices during last 2 minutes of cooking.
Meanwhile, assemble lettuce cups by topping a lettuce leaf with cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and avocado slices.
Place warm beef patty in lettuce cup and drizzle with remaining juice from skillet (no alcohol added).

Precook patties in advance for meal prep
Substitute spinach or romaine if iceberg unavailable
