Cook the pork meat with onion, add water to cover the meat by 5 cm and salt in a pressure cooker. Cook the meat for the migas for 40 minutes after it starts to sound. Remove from heat. Blend the soaked guajillo chiles with the soaking water for 3 minutes until smooth. Soak the bolillos in cold water until softened, about 3 minutes. Once the bolillos are softened, squeeze them with your hands to form compressed balls. Set aside. Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add vegetable oil and add the garlic, frying until well browned. Then add the blended chiles and sauté for 2 minutes, then add the meat and a little of the cooking broth and cook for 5 minutes. Finally, add the soaked bolillo and mix lightly. The migas should look crumbled, not like paste, incorporate and remove from heat. Serve the homemade migas on a plate with chopped onion, oregano, fried árbol chili, and lime juice. You can accompany this Mexican soup with tortillas if you prefer.
