Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and finely chopped onion until the beef is browned through and the onions have softened. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Drain Fat and Cool: Drain any excess fat from the beef mixture and allow it to cool slightly, which helps prevent tearing the rice paper during assembly.
Soften Rice Paper: Soak each rice paper wrap in warm water for 15-20 seconds until pliable but not overly soggy.
Assemble Rolls: Lay one rice paper wrap flat on a clean towel or board. Place one slice of cheddar cheese in the center, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture on top, followed by a small handful of shredded lettuce and a few pickle slices.
Roll Up: Fold in the sides of the rice paper and roll tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the seam side is down to hold the roll together. Repeat with the remaining wraps and filling.
Add Sesame Seeds: Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each roll for extra flavor and presentation.
Bake Rolls: Place the prepared rolls seam-side down on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice paper is golden and slightly crispy.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite low-sugar ketchup or Big Mac-style dipping sauce.

Notes

Be careful not to soak the rice paper too long to avoid tearing during assembly.
Letting the beef mixture cool slightly before assembly helps maintain the integrity of the rice paper.
These rolls can be customized with your favorite low-carb cheese or additional veggies.
Serve with a low-sugar ketchup or a homemade Big Mac sauce for added flavor.
