Top with radishes and cilantro. Serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained corn or some diced bell peppers to the skillet with the tomatillos.
If you prefer a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño to the rice mixture.
Feel free to substitute the Monterey Jack cheese with your favorite cheese, such as cheddar, pepper jack, or a Mexican blend.
