Then it's mostly sauce and fixings. If you have a lot of creamy stuff (including stuff like egg), balance it with something with some bite - pickled jalapenos, pickles, onions, a nice spicy mustard-
-Ketchup (or spicy BBQ sauce)
-Raw sweet onion
-Lettuce
-Slice of tomato
-Little mayo on the bread
-Toasted sesame seed bun
