Slice the ripe avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl and mash until chunky yet smooth.
Squeeze lime juice over the mashed avocado and stir. Fold in red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro until evenly mixed.
Season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting until satisfied with the flavor.
Spoon the guacamole onto a platter, shaping it into a brain-like form using fingers or a spatula.

Chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving. Arrange tortilla chips around the guacamole.
