- PRO TIP: Place InstantPot under your vent hood while cooking
- Turn on InstantPot to SAUTE mode
- Add oil to pot

- While the veggies are cooking, in a separate large bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, taco seasoning and oregano
- Mix well to incorporate all ingredients
- Add the sauteed vegetables to the bean mixture and mix well
- Press CANCEL/OFF button on InstantPot to turn off
- Grease your pan with either butter, oil or cooking spray
- Lay one tortilla flat in the pan to cover the bottom
- Add a ladle of Red Enchilada sauce to fully cover the tortilla (or green or a mix of both sauces- your preference)
- Add a layer of your vegetable/bean mixture
- Add a layer of cheese
- Add another tortilla and repeat this process until you have the desired number of layers
- The final layer should be tortilla-sauce-cheese
- Gently cover the pan with foil
- You can rinse out your InstantPot if you want at this point or leave it as is
- Add water to the Instant Pot (1 cup)
- Place trivet in the water in the Instant Pot
- Place the casserole pan on the sling
- Using the sling, place the pan on top of the trivet in the InstantPot
- Close the InstantPot lid
- Turn vent on the lid to CLOSE VENT to prevent steam from escaping
- Set pot to MANUAL mode
