Once removed from the oven, transfer the fries into four small oven-safe dishes (or one large dish for sharing). Top with diced bell peppers, shredded cheddar, and jack cheese, then return to the oven for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Finish off with chopped scallions, sliced jalapeño, diced tomato, cilantro, and black olives. Serve with salsa on the side.
