Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Stir fries to the edges, then add ground beef and break it up with a spoon until no pink remains, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Pour queso over the fries and beef, sprinkle jalapeños on top, and toss until everything is coated and warm.

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
