Queso Fries

What is it?

Chipotle-seasoned chips are topped with warm queso, a melted cheese sauce that can come plain, mild or spicy. Chips start crisp, then pick up the sauce as they sit, so the texture shifts quickly from crunchy to soft. Eating them fast is part of the deal. In Guzman y Gomez's lineup, these sit closer to a loaded side than a standard serve of chips. They're built for eating straight away, with the seasoning on the potatoes and the queso doing most of the work. Ordering a side of jalapeños or guacamole to go with them pushes the whole thing further into nacho territory, though the base format stays chip-forward rather than fully loaded.
