Instructions

1 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1/4 tsp. ancho (or regular) chili powder 2 lime wedges 1 ripe Fresh California Avocado, seeded, peeled and cut into chunks 1 1/2 cups crushed ice 3 oz. lime juice 2 tsp. agave nectar 4 oz. Tequila 2 oz. triple sec 3 sprigs cilantro 2 lime wedges, for garnish

On a plate, mix together the salt and chili pepper.
Run a lime wedge around the rim of each margarita glass and turn each glass upside down into salt mixture, twisting gently until the rim is completely coated.
In a blender, combine the avocado, crushed ice, agave nectar, tequila, triple sec and cilantro sprigs; blend until smooth.
Pour the margarita into the prepared glasses. Garnish the rims of the glasses with lime wedges. Serve.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
