Mexican dishes are one of my favorite things to eat, but I am kind of picky about them. I need there to be a lot of flavor with a little bit of kick and this vegetarian Instant Pot recipe does it perfectly.
Not to mention, I secretly enjoy almost anything in a casserole. No need for extra side dishes and less to clean up. It sounds like a win-win in my book!
My husband is also normally one that loves a good hearty meal, and he loves this recipe, even without meat! The beans in this recipe give you all the protein you need to leave you feeling full and satisfied.
A few of my other favorite meatless Instant Pot recipes are our Instant Pot Cheesy Penne Pasta, Instant Pot Mac and Cheese, and this Instant Pot Sweet Potato Casserole. All are deliciously flavorful and super simple recipes.

Here is how to make this scrumptious family dinner recipe:
Start by getting all of your ingredients together. Dice up the peppers and onion. Make sure to drain and rinse all of the beans in a colander before using them and cut the tortillas into strips.
Then, plug in the Instant Pot and turn it on the SAUTE setting. Add in the olive oil and diced red and green pepper, and the yellow onion and cook everything until they become soft.
Next, turn off the SAUTE function by pressing the “CANCEL/KEEP WARM” button. Add in the green enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, rice, water, and the zucchini but DO NOT stir everything together, leave it as is.
Once all of that is done, place the lid on the Instant Pot, lock the lid into place and be sure to turn the valve to the “SEALING” position.
To start the Instant Pot press the “MANUAL” or “HIGH PRESSURE” button and set the timer for 4 minutes.
Once the time has run out, turn the knob from “SEALING” to the “VENTING” position to do a quick release and remove the lid one all of the pressure has been released.
After you remove the lid, add in the black beans, white beans, pinto beans, and the can of corn to the Instant Pot and stir everything until it is well combined.
Next, add in the chopped cilantro and shredded Colby jack cheese and begin to fold it into the bean mixture until they are all combined.
Now just the tortilla strips on top and serve it warm with all of your favorite enchilada toppings.
A few Enchilada toppings we suggest:
- Avocado
- Pico de Gallo
- Shredded lettuce
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Chopped jalapenos
