Description
These Low-Carb Baked Big Mac Rice Paper Rolls are a healthier, gluten-free twist on the classic fast food favorite. Filled with seasoned ground beef, cheddar, lettuce, and pickles, then baked until crispy, they're perfect for a quick and satisfying dinner.
Ingredients
8 rice paper wraps
1 lb (approx. 450 g) 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
½ cup sliced pickles
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Drain any excess fat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.
- Soften each rice paper wrap by soaking in warm water for 15–20 seconds.
- Lay the softened wrap flat and add one slice of cheddar, 2–3 tablespoons of beef mixture, shredded lettuce, and pickle slices in the center.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a burrito. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top if using.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and lightly crispy.
- Let cool slightly and serve with a dipping sauce such as Big Mac-style sauce (mayo, mustard, ketchup, relish, vinegar).
Notes
Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Swap in lentils or tofu for a vegetarian version.
Add sliced tomatoes or jalapeños for extra flavor.
Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness—avoid microwaving.
Not suitable for freezing due to rice paper texture changes.
