Directions:

1. For the Southwest Seasoning: Combine the spices until well blended. Cover and store.

2. For the Salsa: Brush all the vegetables with oil and fire roast them until charred all over. Remove the seeds from the peppers. Coarsely chop the vegetables. Puree them in a food processor until smooth. Stir in the Southwest Seasoning, lime juice, and cilantro. Season to taste.

3. For the Yuca Fries: Rinse the yuca and cut it into 4-in pieces. Set it cut-side down and carefully trim off the skin. Cut into wedges and remove the fibrous center. Cut the wedges into pieces 3- to 4-in long and ½-in wide. Blanch them in boiling water in batches until almost fork tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and cool for at least 15 minutes before frying.

4. For the Poutine: Fry the yuca fries at 350 degrees F until crisp and brown. Drain and season well with Southwest Seasoning.

5. For each order, layer 6 oz of the fries on a platter, topped by half the manchego and Oaxaca cheeses. Build a second layer with the remaining fries, the salsa, manchego, and Oaxaca cheeses. Top with the diced peppers. Bake at 350 degrees F for 4 to 5 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown. Sprinkle with the Ranchero Queso Fresco, cilantro, and 1 tsp Southwest Seasoning. Serve with lime.
