1 Bake the Fries
Cut potatoes into 1/2" fries and pat dry.
Place fries on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil and a pinch of salt. Massage oil and salt into potatoes.Spread into a single layer and bake in hot oven until tender and browned, 25-30 minutes, flipping once halfway through.Carefully, toss baked fries with fajita seasoning. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.While fries bake, prepare ingredients. -
2 Prepare Ingredients and Make Chili
Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into 1/2" dice. Poblano peppers can vary in spice level; most are mild, but a few can be quite hot. Wash hands and cutting board after prepping.
Place a small pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add poblano to hot pot and stir occasionally until beginning to soften, 3-4 minutes.Add tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, and chile and cumin rub. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir occasionally until thickened and liquid has mostly evaporated, 10-15 minutes.Remove from burner. Cover and set aside.While chili cooks, make burgers. -
3 Form the Burgers
Quarter cheese slices.
Combine ground beef and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Form into four equally-sized patties.Divide cheese between two patties. Place remaining patties on cheese-topped patties and seal edges by pinching lightly. A tight seal helps cheese stay in patties while cooking.Season patties with a pinch of pepper. -
4 Cook the Burgers
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add burgers to hot pan and cook until browned and burgers reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side, covering pan once burgers are flipped.
Cheese may leak from burgers. Don't worry, they're still delicious!Remove burgers to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -
