Nachos originated in Piedras Negras, Mexico, near the U.S. border, in the 1940s as a quickly improvised snack. They gained popularity in the U.S. and have since evolved into a customizable and widely beloved dish. The specific addition of 'Iguana' to the name is likely a branding choice for the restaurant, not a traditional ingredient.

Iguana Nachos are a savory and layered dish, featuring a combination of cheesy, spicy, and often meaty flavors, complemented by the crunch of the tortilla chips.
The base of the dish consists of crispy tortilla chips, typically triangular. These are generously topped with melted cheese, usually cheddar or a blend. Salsa, ranging from mild to hot, adds a vibrant tomato and chili pepper flavor. Common additions include seasoned ground beef or chicken for a meaty element. Sour cream and guacamole provide creamy coolness to balance the spice. Other potential toppings include jalapeños for extra heat, black beans or refried beans for added texture and flavor, diced tomatoes, onions, and olives.

Layering Technique
Start with a layer of chips, then cheese, then toppings, repeating the process to ensure every chip gets some love. This prevents the top layer from becoming overloaded while the bottom chips are bare.
Cheese Choice
Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can inhibit melting, so shredding your own is recommended.
Preventing Soggy Chips
Spread the toppings evenly and avoid overloading the chips with wet ingredients. Baking the nachos for a short time can help crisp the chips and melt the cheese evenly.
Toppings balance
Consider balancing the ingredients. for example, if you plan on adding spicy jalapeños consider adding sour cream to cool the dish down
