If you have a juicer, you can make this cocktail with a little advance planning. Save and dehydrate the skins and pulp of some prickly pear fruits and then powder them in a high-speed blender. You can also make your own prickly pear syrup by combining 1 cup of juice and 1 cup of suage. Simmer until the sugar is combined with the juice.
Wet the rim of a glass by running a lime wedge around the edge. Sprinkle the salt and prickly pear fruit powder on a flat surface and rotate the rim of the glass in the mixture so that the rim is lightly coated. Add ice cubes to the glass.
Combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice and prickly pear syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously to combine thoroughly, then strain into glass. Garnish with a slice of lime.
