Variations & Tips\n
\n
If you’re aiming for even fewer carbs, you can swap the low-carb tortillas for leafy green lettuce cups. Another fun twist is to add some crumbled bacon on top for extra flavor. A sprinkle of sesame seeds can give an added ‘burger’ feel. For a vegetarian version, substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground meat alternative.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
