Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Tear off 4 18-inch long pieces of heavy-duty foil and put them on a work surface, shiny-side up, with a long end of each piece closest to you. Spray evenly with cooking spray.
- Pile a quarter of the chips on the left side of 1 piece of foil, sprinkle with a quarter of the chorizo, Cheddar and Monterey jack. Dollop with a quarter of the refried beans. Fold over the empty-side of foil and seal the edges to make a packet. Repeat with the remaining foil, chips, chorizo, Cheddar, Monterey jack and beans.
- Place the packets on the grill and cook, covered, until the cheese is melted and the chips are hot, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the packets to a large platter. Careful of steam, open the packets and top each with 1 tablespoon of cilantro, guacamole, jalapenos, salsa and sour cream.

Steps:
- For the chicken and salsa: Position an oven rack in the top of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Arrange a layer of tortilla chips on the tray. Sprinkle 1/2 of the cooked beef in a layer over the chips (don't drown the chips!) then layer with 1/3 of the beans, 1/3 of the jalapeno peppers, 1/3 of the pico de gallo, and 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese; drizzle 1/3 of the queso blanco over top. Repeat layers once more, starting with chips and ending with queso blanco. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and transfer nachos to a platter. Top with shredded lettuce and remaining beans, jalapeno peppers, and pico de gallo.
- Stir sour cream with just enough water to thin slightly; drizzle over the nachos. Drizzle remaining queso blanco over top and sprinkle with scallions. Arrange remaining chips around the edges of the platter.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the nachos will taste. Use fresh, flavorful chicken, cheese, and vegetables.
- Don't overload the nachos: It's important to find a balance between the amount of toppings and the amount of chips. Too many toppings can make the nachos soggy, while too few toppings can make them bland.
- Layer the ingredients: Start with a layer of chips, then add a layer of chicken, cheese, and vegetables. Repeat this process until you have used all of the ingredients.
- Don't overcook the chicken: The chicken should be cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be tough and dry.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in nachos. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
- Add your favorite toppings: Nachos are a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or jalapeños.
