Raise the flag and pass the napkins! There’s everything to love about our Carolina ATW burger tucked into a crunchy lettuce wrap. We married the burger and chili, topped it with mustard, a dollop of slaw and crunchy onions.
Toss angel hair slaw with mayonnaise, juice, relish, salt and pepper. Refrigerate.
Oil a skillet and brown beef with onion over medium high heat, stirring occasionally.
Stir in seasonings, ketchup and water.
Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Gently break apart lettuce so you have “wraps” several leaves thick. Nest in a dish.
Place slices of American cheese over each. Top with warm chili burger meat. Drizzle with mustard and top with slaw.
Garnish with onion rings and serve!
