Name: BA's Best Guacamole
Ingredients: 3 large ripe Hass avocados; ¼ white onion, finely chopped; 1 serrano chile, seeds removed if desired, finely chopped; 1 garlic clove, finely grated; 2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lime juice; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; ¼ cup chopped cilantro, plus more for serving; Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds; optional) and chips (for serving)

It takes a while for the avocado to absorb all the flavors you add to it. So if you ever find yourself wondering if your guac is spicy (or salty, or lime-y) enough, wait a few minutes before you add more so that you don’t accidentally overseason it. This is part of [BA's Best](http://www.bonappetit.com/best), a collection of our essential recipes.

Smash avocados with a potato masher or fork in a medium bowl or with a molcajete (a Mexican mortar and pestle) until very coarsely mashed. Mix in onion, chile, garlic, lime juice, salt, and ¼ cup cilantro. Taste and add more lime juice, if desired. Top with pepitas (if using) and more cilantro; serve with chips alongside.
