Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ripe avocados large and soft
  • 1 lime lime juiced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper optional, for spice
  • 4 small tortilla chips cut into wing shapes

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Small spoon or piping bag
  • Knife
  • Serving plate or platter

Method
 

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the avocado.
  3. Use a fork or potato masher to mash everything together until smooth and creamy, with a few small chunks for texture.
  4. Transfer the guacamole into a piping bag or simply use a small spoon for shaping.
  5. On a clean plate, pipe the guacamole into a bat shape, creating two wings with a small rounded body in the center.
  6. Take the tortilla chips and cut or break them into wing-shaped pieces—thin, elongated shards that will serve as the bat's wings and outstretched arms.
  7. Arrange the wing-shaped tortilla chips around the guacamole to mimic bat wings stretching outward.
  8. Optional: add small dots of guacamole or black food-safe marker for eyes on the bat shape to enhance the spooky effect.
  9. Serve immediately on a festive platter, allowing the guacamole to stay fresh and the chips crispy.

Notes

For easier shaping, chill the guacamole slightly before piping. Get creative with the sizes and shapes of tortilla chips to mimic different bat wings or add additional spooky decorations.
