Tips:
- To make the prickly pear puree, you can use fresh or frozen prickly pears. If using fresh, remove the skin and seeds before blending. If using frozen, thaw them first.

- You can use any type of tequila you like in this recipe. However, a blanco or reposado tequila will give you the best flavor.
- To make the salt rim, simply rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it in salt.
- Serve the margaritas immediately, garnished with a lime wedge and a prickly pear cactus pad.
