You may also want to pour thru a sieve if any pieces of the jalapeno have separated)

FOR THE MARGARITAS

Step 2: On a small plate, sprinkle Tajin seasoning. Dip the rim of each glass in water or lime juice & dip in seasoning to line the rim of the glass.

Step 3: Process the ice, mango, tequila, Cointreau, lime juice & simple syrup in a blender until smooth. Add more simple syrup after a taste test if you would prefer more sweetness or jalapeno flavor.

Step 4: Pour mango mixture into the glasses & serve immediately.

NOTE #1 - Tajin Seasoning is available pretty much everywhere, is usually found in the produce aisle & also often seen at Costco.

NOTE #2 - You will have leftover simple syrup that you can use to make more margaritas or it can be saved in your fridge for up to 2 wks. This leftover syrup does askew the nutritional info per serving when the recipe is considered as a whole.
