To make the casserole in the Instant Pot:
Spray your Instant Pot with cooking spray and set to Saute. Once the pot is hot, add chorizo, bell peppers, and zucchini. Use a spatula to break apart any large pieces. Saute until completely cooked, stirring constantly, about 8-10 minutes.
Turn off your Instant Pot and transfer chorizo mixture to a greased oven safe dish that fits inside your pot. Add eggs and almond milk and whisk until well combined.
Add 1 cup of water to your pot then place your trivet in the bottom. Place your chorizo and egg dish on top of the trivet.
Close and lock the lid and set the pressure knob to seal and select Pressure Cook (high) and set the cook timer for 20 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally. Once the pressure valve drops remove the lid and serve immediately. You can enjoy this alone or serve on a whole wheat flour tortilla, corn tortilla or over sweet potato hash.
