1 teaspoon kosher salt

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until done in the middle, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
For the toppings: Cut the base of each lettuce leaf on the head and carefully peel it away so that it stays as intact as possible.

Tips for Making the Best BBQ Burgers in Lettuce Wraps:

Use high-quality ground beef: Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean, as this will produce a juicy and flavorful burger.
Season the beef well: Before cooking, season the ground beef with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and your favorite seasonings. This will help to enhance the flavor of the burgers.
Don't overcook the burgers: Cook the burgers over medium heat until they are cooked to your desired doneness. Overcooked burgers will be dry and tough.
Use fresh lettuce wraps: Lettuce wraps are a great way to enjoy burgers without the added calories of a bun. Choose fresh, crisp lettuce leaves that are large enough to hold all of the burger ingredients.
Load up on your favorite toppings: The great thing about lettuce-wrapped burgers is that you can load them up with all of your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include cheese, bacon, avocado, tomato, and onion.
