Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 lb 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
  • 1/2 cup sliced pickles

Wrap

  • 8 rice paper wraps

Optional Garnish

  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the rolls.
  2. Cook Ground Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with finely chopped onion until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  3. Soften Rice Paper Wraps: Soak each rice paper wrap in warm water for 15-20 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a clean towel or board for assembling.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Place one slice of cheddar cheese onto the center of each softened rice paper. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooked beef mixture on top, followed by a bit of shredded lettuce and a few pickle slices.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll tightly, sealing the ingredients inside. Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
  6. Bake: Bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and the exterior is lightly crispy.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces such as low-sugar ketchup or a homemade Big Mac-style sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Rice paper wraps are naturally gluten-free, making this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative for different dietary preferences.
  • Customize the fillings by adding jalapeños for heat or swapping cheddar for pepper jack or dairy-free cheese.
  • These rolls can be prepped in advance, stored in the fridge, and baked or reheated easily.
  • For freezing, bake first, freeze the rolls, and reheat directly from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
  • Brush the rice paper lightly with oil or egg wash before baking for an extra golden and shiny finish.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces like smoky chipotle mayo or garlic aioli for flavor variety.
