Directions

Prep 20 minCook 10 min
  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the yogurt, adobo sauce from canned chipotles, Dijon, mustard and half of the Worcestershire until smooth. Adjust to taste and set aside.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, gently mix the ground beef with the salt, pepper, and remaining Worcestershire sauce. Form into equal-sized patties, slightly wider than the lettuce wraps.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook the patties 4–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Rest briefly.

  4. 4

    Place a patty on a lettuce leaf, top with avocado slices, tomato, red onion, and pickle chips.

  5. 5

    Spoon on some of the chipotle-yogurt sauce, wrap with a second lettuce leaf to enclose, slice in half, and serve immediately.
