Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth but still slightly chunky, releasing a fresh, earthy aroma as it becomes creamy.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mashed avocados to brighten the flavor and prevent browning. Add salt, garlic powder, and ground cumin, then stir to combine until evenly seasoned and flavorful.
Stir in sour cream if using, to give the guacamole a creamy, smooth texture with a slight tang. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tortilla wraps into small bat-shaped pieces using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife. Place the bat-shaped chips on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
Bake the tortilla bats in the oven for about 8-10 minutes or until they are crispy and golden around the edges, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. Remove from oven and let cool slightly until firm.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop the seasoned guacamole onto the center of each crispy bat-shaped chip or gently spread to cover. The creamy guac contrasts beautifully with the crispy, dark chips.
Create tiny bat faces by placing small slices of black olives or black sesame seeds as eyes on each guacamole bat. Press gently so they adhere.
Arrange the bat-shaped guacamole chips on a serving platter, making sure they’re evenly spaced for an eye-catching display. Add extra eyes or decorations for a more spooky effect.
Serve immediately with additional tortilla chips or vegetable sticks on the side for an interactive, festive snack. Enjoy the crunchy, creamy bites that are perfect for Halloween parties!
