Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 2 cups Bell Peppers, diced any variety
  • 1 can Canned Green Chiles or use fresh chiles
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheese mix cheddar and Monterey Jack
  • 4 large Eggs can substitute with flax eggs
  • 1 cup Milk almond milk for dairy-free option
  • 6 pieces Corn Tortillas try whole grain for added fiber

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

Directions
  1. Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' mode. Add diced bell peppers and canned green chiles, cooking them for about 5 minutes until they soften.
  2. Once the vegetables are tender, pour in your eggs and milk, stirring until everything is well-combined. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Layer corn tortillas over the egg mixture in the Instant Pot, pressing them down gently. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  4. Securely close the Instant Pot lid, making sure the steam valve is set to sealing. Select 'Pressure Cook' and adjust the time to 10 minutes.
  5. After cooking, perform a quick release by turning the steam valve to venting. Gently fluff the casserole with a spatula.
  6. Spoon portions onto plates and garnish with fresh cilantro and avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream on top before serving.
