Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds green or red prickly pear fruit
- 1 cup lime juice
- 1 cup tequila
- 3/4 cup orange-flavor liqueur
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 cups crushed ice
- Thin lime slices (optional)
Method
- Cut ends from prickly pears. Cut a 1/8-inch-deep lengthwise slit through peel on each fruit. Pull back peel and remove from pulp; discard peel. Cut fruit pulp into 1/2-inch chunks.
- In a blender, combine half of all these ingredients: prickly pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and sugar; whirl until smooth. Add half the ice and whirl until blended. Pour into glasses slowly, leaving seeds behind. Discard seeds.
- Repeat step 2 with remaining pear chunks, lime juice, tequila, liqueur, sugar, and ice.
- Garnish with lime slices.
- Look for prickly pears (also called cactus pears, Indian figs, and tunas) with fresh produce in supermarkets and Latino markets. Wear heavy cotton or rubber gloves or use a thick towel to hold them when peeling.
