Rim the glasses: spread the chili powder, salt and sugar on a small plate. Moisten the rim of 2 glasses with the lime wedge. Dip the edge of the rim into the mixture and gently shake off any excess. Fill the glasses with ice and set aside.
Blend the mango-pineapple mixture (yield about 1 cup): Add the mango, pineapple juice and lime juice to a blender (SEE NTOES). Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Shake the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, muddle 1-4 slices of jalapeño (SEE NOTES). Fill the shaker with ice and add the mango mixture, triple sec and tequila. Shake vigorously until the shaker is cold to touch. Strain the margarita into the prepared glasses.
Pour, Garnish & Serve: Slowly pour the grenadine into the margarita. Garnish with the slices of lime and remaining slices of jalapeño. Enjoy!

Notes
Sweetener: If you like your margarita on the sweeter side, add an ounce or two of agave, or honey, to the blender with the mango. Just make sure you taste the mango-pineapple mixture FIRST, and then add the agave if desired. Depending on the ripeness of your mango, the mixture may be sweet enough without the addition.
Jalapeños: If a super spicy margarita is desired, use all four slices of jalapeño. For a milder margarita, use one slice.
Frozen Margarita: To make a frozen margarita, use frozen mango chunks. Add all the ingredients (including the jalapeños) to a a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust for sweetness. If you prefer a thinner, more slushy margarita, you can use blend in large handfuls of ice cubes or use fresh mango and ice instead of frozen mango chunks.
