Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces tortilla wraps preferably white flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1 lime lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • Small cookie cutter or template for bat shape

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a small cookie cutter or a bat-shaped template, cut out bat silhouettes from each tortilla wrap. Carefully transfer the shapes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the tortilla bats in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown. Keep a close eye so they don’t burn.
  4. While the chips are baking, scoop the avocados into a mixing bowl. Add lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Using a fork, mash the avocado mixture until smooth and creamy, blending all ingredients evenly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Once the tortilla bats are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. The chips should feel firm and crunchy.
  7. Serve the bat-shaped tortilla chips alongside the creamy guacamole in a bowl or on a platter for a festive presentation.
