A simple grilled iguana finished with fresh lime and cilantro. Minimal seasoning, high heat, and the cleanest way to taste the meat on its own.
Season iguana with salt and pepper; oil grill grate.
Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through (165°F).
Rest briefly; squeeze lime over meat and sprinkle cilantro.
Slice or chop; serve as-is or as taco filling.
