lettuce Wrap Beef Burger with Okra Fries

Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Brush basket of air fryer with ½ tsp oil.

Mix beef with salt. Divide them into two and form them into burger patties. Set aside

Mix okra gently with salt and the remaining oil and add to the air fryer. Cook for 4 minutes.

Toss okra. Put burger patties on one side of the air fryer basket and okra fries on the other side. Cook for 4 minutes.

Flip the burgers and put swiss cheese on the burgers. Toss okra fries gently and cook for another 4-6 minutes or until okra is charred and burgers are fully cooked.

While the burgers cook, place a large sheet of parchment paper on a countertop. Lay out lettuce leaves overlapping one another forming a rectangle. Place avocado and tomato slice in the center.

Put the cooked burgers on top of the avocado. Carefully bring in 3 sides of the lettuce leaves to cover the burger. Bring up the parchment paper and use it as a mechanism to keep the lettuce leaves in place. Wrap the burger with the lettuce leaves fully by folding the lettuce leaf package to meet the last sides of the leaves. Twist two sides of the excess parchment paper together.

When ready to serve, slice through the parchment paper in half to reveal the center of the burger. Eat by gradually removing any parchment paper while you take bites. Serve with okra fries.
