Set aside. For the pressed pork rind: blend the guajillo chili, onion, garlic, and season with salt. Set aside. In a pan over medium heat, cook the pork rind until it releases its fat, add the guajillo sauce, and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Set aside. On a board, fill the tortillas with the different fillings until you have enough tacos. In a small pot over medium heat, heat the oil, add the chili powder, and remove from heat. In a medium basket, place paper on the bottom, then a large bag, and cover the bag with more paper. Add a layer of onion, place the formed taquitos, and pour a ladle of oil over them. Repeat the process until the basket is full and cover with absorbent paper and a napkin to retain heat better. For the raw green sauce: blend the tomatoes, serrano chili, onion, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Serve the taquitos with the raw green sauce.
