Prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and drying them thoroughly.

Slice the cheddar cheese and set aside.

Slice the tomato, onion, and pickles for toppings.

Once the patties are cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly, about 1 minute.

Assemble the burger by placing a beef patty in the center of a lettuce leaf.

Top with tomato slices, onion, and pickles as desired.

Spread mayonnaise and mustard on top of the toppings.

Wrap the lettuce around the burger tightly and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Serve immediately with extra toppings on the side.
