How to make a frozen mango margarita
The first step to making the mango margarita is to get the glass ready! Combine equal parts salt and chili powder on a plate and swirl together.
Cut a lime in half, and with one half, take the lime and wet the rim of the glass. Then dip the rim of the glass into the chili/salt mixture.
To make the margarita, get out a blender. Blend together the ice and mango first. This helps the other ingredients blend together better.
After the ice and mango have blended a bit, add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice and blend until completely smooth.
Pour into your prepared glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
