4 russet potatoes                                                             4 Roma tomatoes
2 shallots                                                                         1 lime
1 tsp dried Cilantro                                                          1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1 tsp Mesquite seasoning                                                 1 1/2 lb ground beef
6 sandwich buns (I like deluxe Bunny Bread buns)        1 cup shredded Chihuahua cheese

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Wash the potatoes and cut them into 1/4" fries.
Toss them with 2 Tbsp olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Place them in a single layer on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes and then toss.  Bake for 10 - 12 minutes longer.
Remove from oven and garnish with lime zest

Core tomatoes and cut into 1/2" dice for Pico de gallo.
Peel and halve shallots.  Cut into small dice.
Zest lime, halve and juice.
Combine Miracle Whip and 1 tsp Mesquite seasoning in a small mixing bowl.

In a small mixing bowl, combine ground beef, 1 tsp salt and a pinch of ground pepper.
Form into six patties.
Drizzle cut sides of buns with olive oil.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Place buns cut-side down in hot pan and cook until lightly toasted, 2 - 3 minutes.
Set buns aside and add patties to hot pan.  Cook until done, 3 - 4 minutes per side.
Divide the cheese between each burger and cover pan to melt cheese, 2 - 3 minutes.

Combine tomato, shallot, 1 tsp lime juice and cilantro, salt and pepper in another small bowl.

Spread mesquite mayo on bottom bun and add a burger patty on top.  Add a serving of Pico de gallo and top with remaining bun.

Place on a plate and serve with a healthy serving of fries.
