Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces tortillas corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 ripe avocados soft, for easy mashing
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked cumin ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or masher
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place tortilla rounds on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 8–10 minutes, watching to prevent burning.
  2. While the chips are baking, peel and pit the avocados, then transfer the flesh to a mixing bowl.
  3. Add freshly squeezed lime juice and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocados, then mash with a fork or masher until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the ground smoked cumin and olive oil to enhance flavor and achieve a silky, vibrant green guacamole.
  5. Remove the baked tortilla chips from the oven once they are golden and crispy. Let them cool slightly for easier handling.
  6. Use a sharp knife to cut each tortilla into bat shapes—create two small wings and a rounded body for each chip, ensuring they look like bats.
  7. Arrange the shaped chips on a serving platter around a bowl of the prepared guacamole, creating a spooky bat display.
  8. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture of the chips with the cool, flavorful guacamole.
