    Pre-heat your oven to 160, 140 fan, gas 3. Start with the shoestring fries by heating your oil in a deep, heavy pan over a medium-high heat/deep fat fryer. Cut/julienne your potatoes into matchstick-sized fries and pop in iced, cold water for 5 mins.

  2. Step 2 of 7

    Drain your potatoes and dry in a tea towel before tossing in cornflour and adding to your hot oil (test by dropping in one fry- it should sizzle and float). Fry for 3 mins until golden, drain and toss in cumin, coriander, garlic and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Lay out on a lined baking tray and set aside.

  6. Step 6 of 7

    Heat your griddle pan to high and char your brioche buns. Now to assemble! Dollop your salsa across the bottom of each brioche bun and top with shredded lettuce/mixed leaves

    Next step
  7. Step 7 of 7

    Top each with 1/4 of the charred veg, followed by a Tex Mex burger.
