Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. To make Cilantro-Lime Aioli combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Take 1/2 cup of dressing mix and add to one cup mayonnaise and mix together with a whisk. Chill at least one hour. To make Gateline Salsa combine all ingredients in a large bowl and using a small hand blender pulverize until completely mixed. At this point you have the option of how chunky you want your salsa. To make bell peppers and onions use a small stainless steel sautee pan, fireproof, on grill, heat butter and oil until hot and add peppers and onions. Cook until just tender. Take off heat and season with cumin, chili powder and salt. To make crunchy torilla strips,cut one 8" tortilla shell into very small strips. Heat oil to 325 to 350 degrees in medium deep sauce pan and fry strips about one minute or until golden brown. Remove and season with scant amounts of cumin and salt. When grill is ready, brush the grill rack with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to preference, 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium. When there is about one minute left place slices of Monterey Jack Cheese on patties, close lid to grill and let cheese become soft. During the last couple of minutes of grilling the patties, place the onion kaiser rolls, cut side down, along the outer edges of the grill rack to toast lightly. To assemble burger spread a generous amount of the Cilantro-Lime Aioli on the cut side of the top roll. Place the pattie on the cut side of the bottom of the roll. Add chopped lettuce, 2 slices of avocodos, 1 teaspoon salsa, 1 tablesspoon of bell pepper mixture, 1 teaspoon sour cream and three of the cruncy torilla strips. Add top of roll and serve.
