Make the Perfect Keto-Approved, Lettuce-Wrapped Burger in a Few Easy Steps:

Cook some bacon.
Generously season your ground beef.
Whip up our jalapeño aioli and Guacamole (or use store-bought, because it’s okay to take shortcuts once in a while).
Add your veggies and wrap it all up in crisp lettuce (or go for that bun if you insist).

The result is one insanely satisfying low-carb, lettuce-wrapped bacon burger that you NEED in your life!

Homemade vs. Store Bought-Guacamole:

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that homemade guacamole will ALWAYS win over store-bought guac, but there are some benefits to taking this shortcut once in a while.

Here are the pros and cons of both options:

Homemade Guacamole: If you want the BEST tasting keto burger and have a few minutes to spare we HIGHLY recommend mixing up a batch of Homemade Guacamole using our favorite recipe. We love the hits of lime and nothing can beat the punchy flavors of fresh garlic and cilantro. It comes together quickly and really takes this keto-friendly burger to the next level!

Store-Bought Guacamole: We'll be honest, we don't typically purchase store-bought guacamole. However, we are huge fans of cutting corners when it makes sense. And so, if making homemade guacamole vs. just buying it at the store is all that stands between you and making this bacon burger, then by all means go for it! We can say from times we’ve tasted it that preservatives like citric acid (which helps the store-bought stuff keep its pretty green color) can taste extra tangy. So be prepared for that.
