Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork or potato masher until it reaches your preferred smoothness — chunky or creamy.
Add fresh lime juice to the mashed avocado, which enhances flavor and helps prevent browning. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the minced jalapeño, salt, and chopped cilantro if using, for a spicy and fragrant kick. Mix thoroughly.
Slice the tortillas into small rounds or shapes using a cookie cutter or knife. Cut out bat shapes for a festive look.
Arrange the cut tortilla pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, until crispy and golden.
Once baked, let the chips cool for a few minutes—they will become crunchier as they cool down.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl, smoothing the top for an even surface.
Arrange the baked bat-shaped chips around the guacamole or use them as edible spoons for dipping.
Optionally, garnish with additional cilantro or a squeeze of lime for extra freshness before serving.
Enjoy your festive Halloween guacamole with crispy bat-shaped chips, perfect for a fun party treat!
