This easy, no-bake pie has a nice tart, South of the Border flavor. It makes a great ending to a meal of tacos, burritos or fajitas.

3/4 cup pretzel crumbs
1/3 cup butter
3 Tbsp sugar

1 envelope plain gelatin
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 eggs, separated
1 cup sugar, divided
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1/3 cup Tequila
3 Tbsp Triple Sec

1. Chop pretzels in bowl of processor with steel blade. Add butter and sugar. Press into 9-inch pie plate and chill.

2. Sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice; let stand until soft. Beat egg yolks in top of double boiler. Blend in 1/2 cup sugar, salt and lemon rind. Add gelatin/juice mix. Cook over boiling water, stirring constantly until slightly thick. Place in a bowl; Blend in Tequila and Triple Sec. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling and chill.

3. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into cooked mixture. Pour into crust and chill until set. Garnish with whipped cream.

Note: If you prefer a more tart filling, leave out the second half cup of sugar (in the egg whites) and proceed as before.
