  6. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.

  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese, green onions, diced avocados, and tortilla chips.

Notes

For deeper flavor, brown the beef in batches. Adjust spice levels according to preference by adding more jalapeños.
