Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add fries in a single layer and cook 4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 2
Push fries to the edge of the skillet. Brown ground beef with cumin, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour queso sauce over the fries and beef. Scatter jalapeños on top and let the queso warm through, 1 minute.
Step 4
Squeeze lime juice over everything. Top with cilantro and serve immediately from the skillet.
