Place the pork, chicken broth, kosher salt, garlic and white onion in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Remove the cooked meat from the pot and use two forks or your hands to shred all of the meat and remove any excess fat.
Cut the pork into smaller pieces, which will make it easier to scoop.
Set pork aside.
Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil.
Add the jalapeños, cover and boil for 5 minutes.
Then add the tomatillos and tomatoes and continue boiling for 5-8 minutes or just until the tomatillos change color.
Place the jalapeños, tomatoes, tomatillos, 1/2 cup of the pork broth, garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and cumin into a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium-sized skillet.
Add diced pork and sauté until just slightly golden.
Pour the salsa verde over the pork and simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
Top with shredded cheese and bake in a 350º oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and golden.

Notes

You can also broil for an extra 2-3 minutes to achieve a richer golden-brown color on the cheese.
