Notes
For a lower-carb option, reduce the amount of sweet potato and increase the lettuce and fresh vegetables.
You can also add shredded cheddar cheese, avocado, jalapeños, cucumber, or a homemade burger sauce. For meal prep, keep the warm ingredients and fresh toppings in separate containers until ready to serve.
