The menu item starts off with the brand's [seasoned fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bold-nacho-fries) that come topped with a new Garlic Ranch Sauce that's crafted with a blend of garlic and jalapeño with a creamy texture for balance. The fries are then topped with [marinated steak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steak-poblano-rolled-quesadilla), cheddar cheese, [nacho cheese sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taco-bell-grande-nachos) and pico de gallo .
