DIRECTIONS:

1. To make the pico de gallo, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 
2. For the guacamole, place the avocados in a large bowl and mash until a few chunks remain. 
3. Stir in the diced onion, lime juice, and mayonnaise. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
4. For the salsa rojo, roast the tomatoes, garlic, and Serrano pepper either on a stovetop/grill or in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until softened and slightly charred. 
5. Place the guajillo chiles in the blender or food processor and blend until they become a powder. 
6. Add the roasted tomatoes, pepper, garlic, and cilantro to the blender. Season with salt and pepper then pulse several times until combined but still chunky. 
7. Preheat grill to 600°F. Rub the ribeyes with some olive oil and season to taste with garlic powder, Lawry’s, and Montreal steak seasoning. 
8. Cook the ribeyes for about 3-4 minutes then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. 
9. Slice the ribeyes after they’ve rested for a bit and assemble the tacos with a few slices of ribeye and a scoop each of salsa rojo, pico de gallo, and guacamole. Enjoy!
