Not Your Mama’s Instant Pot Taco Casserole!
The first time I had a breakfast casserole “omelet” was a sad day.
A friend made it for me. It was moving day. We were moving from Idaho to Colorado, the other side of the Rockies.
My friend was my roommate (aka adopted sister) who made living in that town feel like home. She made my kids pancakes, and knowing that I can’t have gluten, she made a special breakfast casserole just for me.
I don’t need to tell you she’s a special friend. Or that I miss her like crazy. Everyone needs a friend like her.

Notes for Recipe for Cheesy Super Taco Pie Instant Pot Omelet
This casserole is very different from the one my dear friend made for me. It’s the same idea but with different ingredients and methods.
Hers was made in the oven, mine in the instant pot. Hers was a tasty bacon base, mine is taco-inspired.
This recipe feeds our whole family of 6 easily. My kids are young, though, and I have no teenagers yet. If you have bigger kids or teenagers, it might be a good idea to make a side of bacon to go with this Super Taco Instant Pot Omelet.

You can also serve your instant pot taco casserole omelet with a dollop of sour cream, which is what we do. Or try some salsa on your taco omelet.
You’ll find the Keto Super Taco Meat recipe here. I have a skillet version and an Instant Pot version on that post. Enjoy!

Cheesy Keto Taco Instant Pot Omelet
Is it a taco omelet or a taco pie? That question is not as important as this one: how soon can you make it again?? This Instant Pot omelet is one of my personal favorites on Keen for Keto! Mexican comfort food at its finest.

- In a medium bowl, add eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Hand-whisk briskly for about 60 seconds.
- Add onions and cheese and stir.
- Butter the bottom and sides of a round 1.5 quart oven-safe glass or ceramic dish (any dish that is oven safe is also safe in the Instant Pot).
- Spread the taco meat on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle with a little cheese, if you like. Cover the dish with foil.
- Place the trivet on the bottom of the Instant Pot. Pour 1 cup of water in the bottom.
