Ingredients
  • 1 Lb Chorizo* See below for seasonings
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 10 eggs
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese optional
  • Toppings: avocado, salsa, green onion
*For the Chorizo: Season 1 pound of ground pork with:
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp paprika
  • 1 Tbsp garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne
  • 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Instructions
  1. Dice the onion and bell pepper. Turn your Instant Pot on Sauté mode. Add about 1Tbsp oil to the pot. Sauté the onion for about 3 minutes, then add the chorizo. Break into small pieces and cook through. Add the bell pepper when the meat is about finished.
  2. Meanwhile, cube the potatoes into 1" pieces. (They need to be small so that they cook all the way through). Place the potatoes in a glass bowl that will fit inside your instant pot.
  3. Add the meat mixture to the bowl on top of the potatoes. Then rinse the inner pot, and place back inside.
  4. Scramble the 10 eggs, and pour them into the bowl.
  5. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the eggs.
  6. Using the steam rack with handles, place the glass bowl into the instant pot.
  7. Set the Instant Pot to Manual, High Pressure, and adjust to cook for 40 minutes.
  8. Once finished, allow to release pressure for about 5 minutes, then manually release the pressure by turning the dial to "venting" Once the steam is released, open the top, and carefully remove the steam rack. Allow the eggs to cool for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve!
