¼ cup almond flour
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp sriracha sauce or hot sauce (optional for extra heat)

For the bowl:

¼ cup capers
¼ cup black olives, pitted and sliced

For the herb dressing:

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, almond flour, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt, and sriracha sauce (if using). Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Shape the mixture into 4-6 patties, depending on your preferred size.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice brown crust. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice or red wine vinegar, dried basil, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Divide the chopped lettuce among serving bowls. Top with sliced cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes, capers, and black olives.

Add the prepared beef patties to the bowl and drizzle with the herb dressing.
