Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the 200 g of extra lean ground beef, diced pickles, diced onions, 2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are integrated.

2. 2

   Lightly moisten the edge of a wonton wrapper with water.

4. 4

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and spray it with cooking oil spray.

5. 5

   Place the wontons in the skillet with the meat side down. Cook until the meat has developed a nice golden-brown sear.

6. 6

   Flip the wontons so the wrapper side is facing down.

7. 7

   Cut the low-fat cheese slices into small squares and place one square on top of each wonton.

8. 8

   Optionally, cover the skillet with a lid for a brief moment to help the cheese melt.

   To prepare the burger sauce, mix in a small container: 1 tbsp light mayonnaise, 0.5 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tbsp pickle juice, 1 tbsp low-calorie ketchup, 1 tbsp diced pickles, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp sweetener, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
