Burger with a Portuguese Twist

2 words - BYE McDonalds!

To begin, approximately 45 min in total to prepare and cook.. Easy waxy. Don't use buns or bread or rolls if you are on a low carb diet. Replace the buns with lettuce. This is a balance meal as the Carbs come from the Fries. Baked the fries to make it healthier, I had to deep fry it because of the death of my oven. Otherwise, it's a healthy meal with easy easy prep.
