1

Gather your ingredients. Then heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add the pork, season with a pinch of salt and sear on all sides, until browned. It won't be cooked through, but that's okay. Remove meat and set aside.
2

Back in the pan, add the onions; sauté until they start to soften, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, and sauté another minute.
3

Transfer onion mixture and pork to a slow cooker. Add the tomatoes through the tortilla chips. Toss in a small pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on high for 4 hours.
4

Ladle the soup and serve garnished with cilantro, cheese and fresh jalapeno slices.
